Rarity and Value: These are actually some of the scarcest territorial bank notes ever printed. We currently know of one that exists. However, others could certainly still be out there waiting to be found. Please let us know if you would like to find out how much yours is worth. The value is based largely on the condition and issuing bank. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: Puerto Rico (aka Porto Rico as the bank notes say) is a true outlier when it comes to national bank notes. It is the only location that issued notes that is still a territory today. At the time of issue it was really no different than Hawaii, Alaska, and even Arizona and New Mexico. Of course all of those places have since become states. Porto Rico’s single national bank was in San Juan. It only printed 1902 red seals and 1902 blue seals. Surprisingly, blue seals are many times rarer than red seals. Notes from Porto Rico are on a lot of want-lists. They are just really unique and different. You don’t even really have to be a national bank note collector to understand how rare and special these notes are. So long story short, the market is good!
