The First National Bank Of Quinton in Oklahoma printed 405 sheets of $5 1902 territorial red seal national bank notes. Collectors love to buy notes from such a small print run. It doesn’t get much smaller than under 500 sheets printed. 1902 red seals have always been a collector favorite. Territorial bank notes have always been popular. When you combine those two factors the result can be a very valuable bank note. We are of course specifically looking at the five dollar denomination. Most $5 red seals are known to exist from Fairbanks, Alaska, thanks to a hoard discovery in the 1960s. There are also about a dozen $5 territorial red seals known to exist from Oklahoma. The design is exactly like any other third charter bank note. Ben Harrison is on the left hand side of the bill. There is a red four digit charter number and red seal. The charter number is printed around the border of the bill several times.
1902 $5 Red Seal Territorial National Bank Note
The First National Bank Of Quinton printed 324 sheets of $10 1902 territorial red seal national bank notes. Collectors love to buy notes from such a small print run.

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.

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.
