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: The market for North Dakota national bank notes has been better in the past than it is now. A huge collection was sold in January 2013 and there were lots of bargains to be had. The state has always benefitted from having a few currency dealers keeping their main residence in North Dakota. Most cities in North Dakota have a very small population today and had a small population when national bank notes were originally issued. The reality is that many notes from North Dakota are quite rare. A general rule is that notes that were issued while North Dakota was still a territory are more valuable than later printings. The great news is that there are still lots of discoveries waiting to be found.
