Basic Design:

Rarity and Value:  Despite saying series of 1882, these were actually printed between 1908 and 1921. So they aren’t quite as old as you might think. However, that doesn’t mean that they can’t be valuable. Your typical range is probably $300 to $1,200. Notes that are rare or especially high grade could certainly be worth more money. Please contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.

Current Market Analysis:  The most expensive notes from Nebraska were issued while Nebraska was still a territory. Only about ten notes like that are known to exist and they are all in heavily circulated condition. Pricing the other 99.9% of Nebraska notes can be difficult. Lots of notes exist that are not on the collector census. It seems like every five years Nebraska is red hot and then ice cold. Right now we are moving from hot to cold. First charter notes are of course very rare. There is actually a fairly large selection of nice brown backs, red seals, and blue seals. As always, notes from small towns will be worth more than notes from larger cities like Omaha and Lincoln.
