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:  National bank notes from Hawaii can be broken down into two groups. There are notes from Honolulu and there is everything else. Of course the great white whale from Hawaii is a 1902 red seal. Brown backs, 1882 blue seals, 1902 blue seals, and small size notes are all relatively available. Only five banks in Hawaii issued national currency. Lots of people like to collect a single note from all fifty states. There are only so many notes from Hawaii to go around. That means that notes that are technically very common can sell for decent money because lots of people need them for collections. Notes from Hawaii are technically all territorials, so that adds even further appeal.
