Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  It is easy to talk about these. All you need to know is that they rare and valuable. Very few banks in the 1860s and 1870s had the need for such a high denomination. Furthermore, very few people in that same time period had a net worth of $50, much less the ability to ever own a $50 bill for more than a few hours. Only about 40 notes like this are known to exist today (and that is across all banks in the country). Values start at $10,000 and go up from there. Contact us if you need an exact price. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  We are likely the most qualified people to comment on the state of the market for South Carolina national bank notes. Our offices are in South Carolina. We have helped assemble some important collections and we personally collect SC nationals. First charter notes from South Carolina are very rare. Less than twenty are known to exist. The same thing goes for 1902 red seals; only around 30 are known to exist. Some blue seals can definitely be scarce, but they have to be from rare towns like Clio, Woodruff, Wagener, St. Matthews, and several other towns. Most notes from South Carolina are in VF condition or much lower. High quality notes that are also rare are few and far between.
