Rarity and Value: If you have one of these then please be sure to check the back of it. If the back says “Fifty Dollars” in large type then you have a very rare find. If the back says “1882-1908” then you have the more common variety. The good news that even the common variety is still relatively scarce and should be worth at least a couple thousand dollars, or more. 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 Mexico did not become a state until 1912. That means that everything issued before 1912 is a territorial. Believe it or not, there is actually a wide selection of territorials from New Mexico. First charters, brown backs, and red seals all exist in relatively high numbers. However, that does not mean that they are cheap. We personally really enjoy territorial blue seals. There are also some rare towns from New Mexico. That is the good news. The bad news is that there are very few rare state notes (those issued after 1912) out there. As of this writing, there is not an especially strong collector base supporting the price of New Mexico nationals. Most buyers are just looking for one or two cool territorials.
