Rarity and Value:  There are two types of 1882 blue seal national bank notes. The back either says five dollars or it says 1882 – 1908. The value of these notes is really just based on the condition and bank of issue. Some can be worth as little as a few hundred dollars. The rarest notes usually top out at a couple thousand dollars. 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 best notes from Connecticut were issued prior to 1900. Some 1902 red seals have the chance to be worth good money, but they are still relatively common for the type. Very few blue seals from Connecticut are considered scarce or valuable. The same applies to small size notes from 1929. You want to look out for traditional rarities like first charter deuces. Denominations higher than $20 are also scarce. There are lots of beautiful notes from Connecticut that can be bought for very reasonable prices. Generally speaking, the type of note is more important than the town. This is common for banks in New England.
