Rarity and Value: Your typical 1902 $100 blue seal is from a large bank, usually in a larger city. You can buy a generic example for between $450 and $900. Some notes can be worth a lot more than that. However, they would have to be from a rare bank or be in especially high grade. Please contact us for exact value information. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: The market for Ohio national bank notes is very weak right now. There is still reasonable demand if you have a truly unique note. However, second and third known blue seals are can sometimes sell for less than $1,500. The problem with the market is that Ohio had hundreds of national banks and the supply of notes is huge. Today the state is economically depressed and collectors just don’t have a lot of money to spend. So the supply of rare notes is high and the demand is especially low. Obviously that is a poor combination if you are trying to sell something for a lot of money. The great news is that if you are collector you can spend a little bit of money and get a lot of value in return.
