Rarity and Value: There are about 500 bank notes like this known to exist. That total is for every bank in the country though. Each note is valued based on its own individual merits. The most important factors are the bank of issue and the condition. Some banks are relatively common and others are quite scarce. High grade notes from this series are also rarely encountered. We consider XF or better to be high grade. Please contact us for details. 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.
