The State National Bank Of Albuquerque in New Mexico issued 5,500 sheets of $10 1902 territorial red seal national bank notes. That printing range is high enough to allow for a couple of survivors, but not much more. This denomination and type was the most prolifically issued territorial note. Some can be quite rare. There is a hierarchy in terms of rarity. Red seals from Hawaii are the absolute rarest. In fact, none from Hawaii are currently known to exist. Ten dollar red seals from Porto Rico are also extremely rare, as are red seals from Alaska. The average collector is most likely to encounter red seals from Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. There were far more territorial banks in Oklahoma during the red seal period than any other state, so notes from Oklahoma are the most common. However, most all red seals should be worth more than $10,000, and sometimes considerably more. William McKinley is pictured on the left hand side of each bill. The number under McKinley is the bank serial number. If that number is #1, then you can expect an additional premium on the value.

The State National Bank Of Albuquerque printed 5,500 sheets of $20 1902 territorial red seal national bank notes. That of course equals the number of sheets printed for the ten dollar denomination. A total of 259 national banks in the country issued $20 territorial red seals. There are currently only about 30 of them known to exist, and that total includes all national banks. That survival rate is really poor. That means that these notes are rare and valuable. They were usually printed in small quantities and very few new ones are found these days. High grade examples are scarce as are notes printed by banks not located in Oklahoma.

The State National Bank Of Albuquerque also printed 4,100 sheets of $10 1902 territorial blue seal national bank notes. That printing range is high enough to allow for a couple of survivors, but not much more. Common isn’t the right word, but the ten dollar bill is the most “available” denomination of 1902 blue seal territorial notes. There are currently around 30 1902 $10 blue seals known to exist from all territories. You can take the number of sheets printed for this bank, and multiply that by three to get the exact number of $10 notes printed for this type. Each note of course has the portrait of William McKinley on the left hand side. The charter number and overprint are both in blue ink. The number below McKinley is the serial number as it relates to the bank (and it is usually very low). The serial number in the upper right is the treasury serial number which is normally about six digits long. Typically when collectors hear territorial blue seal we think about New Mexico and Arizona. Both of those states printed such notes until each became a state in 1912. However, we also have to remember that all blue seals printed by Hawaii, Alaska, and Porto Rico fit the bill as well since all of their issues were of course issued before statehood.
