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:  All first charter bank notes from Idaho are very scarce. Brown backs can either be issued as territorials or as state notes. Territorials are of course far more desirable. However, even state notes are still in demand. There are a surprising number of nice red seals known from Idaho. However, that doesn’t mean that they are cheap. Of course the bank of issue is always very important. Most notes you see are from Boise. Notes from smaller towns are going to be more appealing to most collectors. Towns that have ties to Native American tribes like Nez Perce, Blackfoot, etc. are always very popular. There are plenty of notes from small farming towns that can be worth big money.
