Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: William McKinley is featured on each $10 third charter note. The ten dollar denomination is the most common 1902 red seal. However, it is still usually quite scarce. Red seals were only printed between 1902 and 1908. Survivors usually represent the best available note from a bank. The exact value is always based on the condition and bank of issue. It is not unusual for scarcer examples to be worth thousands of dollars. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: It is difficult to describe the Wisconsin national bank note market in one word. A huge collection was sold in 2008 and prices were generally thought to be strong then, but the market is likely off of those highs. Different parts of the state and different towns are always hot and other areas just don’t seem to have much of a following. We know collectors who only like Wisconsin river towns, or only like towns on the Great Lakes. We don’t generally think of Wisconsin as an especially developed state. However, it had 240 national banks in 131 different towns. There are dozens of ways to collect. It all depends on what you like. The notes that sell the best usually have an X factor. That X factor could be the type of note, the serial number, or the signor.
