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:  National bank notes from Indiana certainly aren’t romanticized or considered top trophy items. However, if you get the right mix of rarity and condition, then notes from Indiana can sell for as much money as traditionally more valuable states. Based on our experience, certain areas and towns tend to have hoarders looking to buy everything; even notes that should be common still sell for good money. Sadly, that rule only applies to about 5% of the common stuff out there. The other 95% can still be difficult to place. Pay close attention to town rarity. No single type of bank note is especially rare, the people collecting the state care about bank and town rarity over everything else.
