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:  New Jersey has a large and often wealthy population. This is good news if you are looking to sell a national bank note from an old New Jersey bank. The location of the town matters a lot. There are significant premiums for notes from shore banks. Towns that are typically considered part of the New York City metro area tend to be popular. Bank notes from other places in New Jersey can struggle to find support once more than three or four are known to exist. The type of note issued is also important. First charters are traditionally fairly scarce. High grade second charter notes and 1902 red seals are certainly in demand. There is even a lot of competition for truly rare 1929 notes.
