Rarity and Value: Ben Harrison is shown on each third charter $5 bank note. Five dollar red seals are scarce. Most banks chose to issue $10 and $20 bills only. We can’t give you an exact value for your red seal on our page here. Values are based on the condition and bank of issue. Generic examples sell for around $400. A large majority will be worth more than. Some could be worth considerably more. 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.
