Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  This denomination was only printed from 1875 until 1878. That is a very short period of time. It is no surprise that these are usually at least scarce and sometimes quite rare. One dollar was not a tremendous amount of money, so it was possible for these to be saved as curiosity items. Prices start at around $400 and go up quickly from there. We would be happy to tell you what yours is worth. Just email us. 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.
