Rarity and Value: Most of these notes are fairly scarce. We generally see them sell for between $300 and $1,200. There is room for that price range to go higher. However, more valuable notes have to be in excellent condition or they need to be from rare banks. Please contact us if you would like to know the exact value of your note. 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.
