Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  John Sherman is pictured on the front of each third charter $50 bill. Right now there are only about 100 1902 $50 red seals known to exist! That means that even generic examples should sell for a few thousand dollars. If you have a note from a rare bank or rare state, that also happens to be in great condition, then the value could easily be in excess of $10,000. Please contact us for exact values. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  The best notes from Connecticut were issued prior to 1900. Some 1902 red seals have the chance to be worth good money, but they are still relatively common for the type. Very few blue seals from Connecticut are considered scarce or valuable. The same applies to small size notes from 1929. You want to look out for traditional rarities like first charter deuces. Denominations higher than $20 are also scarce. There are lots of beautiful notes from Connecticut that can be bought for very reasonable prices. Generally speaking, the type of note is more important than the town. This is common for banks in New England.
