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: Oklahoma was a territory until 1908. Anything issued before that date is called a territorial and is considered especially desirable. The one exception would be a 1902 red seal issued without the territorial status. The reality is that there are hundreds of scarce brown back, red seals, and blue seals from Oklahoma. The market is still generally strong, but it is down from the peak which was probably in 2011. We generally advise that first charter notes are the best notes available from any state. However, Oklahoma didn’t have any banks that issued first charters. Virtually every town in Oklahoma was tiny when nationals were originally issued. A large supply of currency was not needed to meet the demand of these small communities. That is why so bank notes are so scarce today.
