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 market for Vermont nationals is about where it should be for a small New England state. Like most states in the area, Vermont has a rich numismatic and cultural history. You can collect colonial coins and paper money, obsolete notes, and there are also plenty of national bank notes to be had. There isn’t a single type of note that is considered especially scarce for Vermont. There is always going to be a demand for rare types like first charter $2 bills. High denominations like $50s and $100s are scarce on large size notes. There are lots of little towns in Vermont, but despite having small populations, most towns are fairly well represented in terms of number of notes known to exist.
