Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  This is a very tough denomination to find. Only about 70 are still known to exist. Odds are that not too many more are waiting to be found. These are usually found in Fine condition or worse. You have to remember that paper money was a bit of a hot potato during the time these originally circulated. No one wanted to be holding such a high denomination if it was ever devalued. That is why they are scarce today. Contact us for value information. 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.
