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:  The market for national bank notes from Pennsylvania is as good as it have ever been. The only problem is that the market has never been that great. More than 1,000 banks in Pennsylvania issued national currency. No one really has the budget or motivation to collect every single note from the state. Most collectors tend to focus on a specific county or city. Notes from Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs have a close following, but most notes are plentiful. Some people really like Grange banks. All types of notes are so plentiful that you could focus on just brown backs or just red seals and still be able to assemble a diverse and interesting collection without spending a tremendous amount of money.
