Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  These are pretty scarce notes. Not many banks chose to issue such a high denomination in the late 19th century. The most generic examples in circulated condition are still worth around $3,000 each. There is a lot of room for that price to get higher. The condition and bank of issue are both extremely important. Contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  National bank notes from Hawaii can be broken down into two groups. There are notes from Honolulu and there is everything else. Of course the great white whale from Hawaii is a 1902 red seal. Brown backs, 1882 blue seals, 1902 blue seals, and small size notes are all relatively available. Only five banks in Hawaii issued national currency. Lots of people like to collect a single note from all fifty states. There are only so many notes from Hawaii to go around. That means that notes that are technically very common can sell for decent money because lots of people need them for collections. Notes from Hawaii are technically all territorials, so that adds even further appeal.
