Rarity and Value: Most 1902 $50 blue seals you see are from fairly large banks and bigger cities. The most generic ones are worth between $400 and $800. There is certainly room for that value to increase. Notes from rare banks or notes that are in especially high grade can be worth more than $1,000. Sometimes the bank doesn’t even have to be rare, the type could be rare for the state. 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: If you like a diverse offering of bank notes, then you should consider collecting Maine. The market for Maine has never been especially hot or especially cold. Maine is an old established state. It had lots of first charter banks that were in business for a very long time and that makes it relatively easy to find brown backs and red seals. It is possible to buy great notes in high grades for very reasonable prices. We are not sure if it is the cold weather, but notes tend to be found in pretty decent condition with great signatures. And it’s not just about type notes. There are some tough towns in Maine as well. You can challenge yourself if you try to get a note from every town.
