Rarity and Value: Despite saying series of 1882, these were actually printed between 1908 and 1921. So they aren’t quite as old as you might think. However, that doesn’t mean that they can’t be valuable. Your typical range is probably $300 to $1,200. Notes that are rare or especially high grade could certainly be worth more money. 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 goes against logic, but notes from Wyoming (the least populated state in the country) are actually some of the most popular national bank notes out there. A lot of the appeal has to do with the general western nostalgia tied into every late 19th century town in Wyoming. Of course it doesn’t hurt that Wyoming also issued territorial nationals. Those are very scarce. Only around 20 are known to exist. Red seals are also few and far between, as are interesting brown backs. There are lots of blue seal notes that have the chance to be valuable. For a blue seal to be especially valuable it needs to be rare and have lots of eye appeal. Notes that have condition issues, even if they are rare, should be discounted steeply.
