Rarity and Value: Hugh McCulloch twenty dollar blue seals as a type are not especially rare. You could buy a very common one for less than $100. Most people collect them based on which state or bank they are from. Some can be very rare. Most trade in the $100 to $400 range. However, you definitely want to make sure you understand what you have before you sell. Rare examples can be worth thousands of dollars. Contact us for an exact value. 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.
