Rarity and Value:  Despite saying series of 1882, these were actually printed between 1908 and 1921. So they aren’t quite as old as you might think. However, that doesn’t mean that they can’t be valuable. Your typical range is probably $300 to $1,200. Notes that are rare or especially high grade could certainly be worth more money. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  The market for South Dakota national bank notes can be difficult to understand. We have bought things for $5,000 that we were forced to sell for $2,500. We have also bought things for $2,500 that we expected to be $3,000 that ended up selling for $5,000. There are lots of rare bank notes from South Dakota. However, rarity isn’t always enough to make something valuable. The location of the issuing bank is also very important. Early notes like brown backs and red seals can be worth lots of money. We also need to mention that first charter notes and brown backs that were issued during South Dakota’s territorial period are always more valuable than other notes issued after it became a state.
