Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: These are pretty scarce notes. Not many banks chose to issue such a high denomination in the late 19th century. The most generic examples in circulated condition are still worth around $3,000 each. There is a lot of room for that price to get higher. The condition and bank of issue are both extremely important. Contact us for details. 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.
