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: At first glance you would probably expect the market for Oregon national bank notes to be better than it is. First charters from the state are especially rare. There are lots of very rare brown back and red seal banks. The general economy in Oregon is good, so plenty of collectors have money to spend. One of the problems is that there are lots of notes in private collections that are not recorded in the census of known notes. Something might appear to be one of three known to exist. It could actually very well be one of ten. So there is some risk if you are buying a blue seal or small size note. Notes issued before 1908 are legitimately rare. The best notes from Oregon can still be worth a lot of money.
