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 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.
