Rarity and Value:  It is easy to talk about these. All you need to know is that they rare and valuable. Very few banks in the 1860s and 1870s had the need for such a high denomination. Furthermore, very few people in that same time period had a net worth of $50, much less the ability to ever own a $50 bill for more than a few hours. Only about 40 notes like this are known to exist today (and that is across all banks in the country). Values start at $10,000 and go up from there. Contact us if you need an exact price. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  There is a very fervent collector base of notes from the St. Louis metro area. Probably 98% of St. Louis notes are very common, but the rare ones can sell for very strong money. Sadly, the same is not really true for Kansas City notes. They are very common and rarely sell for surprising prices. We normally think of large size notes as being extremely desirable. However, small notes from Missouri are at least as popular. We have also noticed that relatively scarce notes in heavily circulated condition just aren’t in demand; but notes with similar statistics in XF condition or better often sell for many multiples of what the circulated note is worth. The collectors out there are very picky when it comes to condition.
