Rarity and Value:  There is nothing especially rare about this type of money showing Ben Harrison. The rarity is all based on the condition and bank of issue. Your most generic $5 blue seals are going to sell for around $60. Common but more interesting notes sell for between $100 and $500. The upper end of the market is reserved for the rare stuff; and they can sell for thousands of dollars. The great news is that there are lots of rare banks out there. Many great discoveries are made everyday. Please contact us for pricing 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.
