Rarity and Value: There is no single 1929 small size note that is rare as a type. The value comes from the serial number and bank of issue. The majority of notes are worth between $40 and $400. That range can certainly go higher for truly rare examples. Notes that have the serial number 000001 are in demand. That is really the only advice we can give here. Just contact us directly with pictures of what you have and we can tell you exactly how much it is worth. It is worth noting that 1929 marks the first year that national bank notes were the same size as paper money is today. These are also the only nationals to feature a portrait of Andrew Jackson.
Current Market Analysis: The market for national bank notes from Pennsylvania is as good as it have ever been. The only problem is that the market has never been that great. More than 1,000 banks in Pennsylvania issued national currency. No one really has the budget or motivation to collect every single note from the state. Most collectors tend to focus on a specific county or city. Notes from Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs have a close following, but most notes are plentiful. Some people really like Grange banks. All types of notes are so plentiful that you could focus on just brown backs or just red seals and still be able to assemble a diverse and interesting collection without spending a tremendous amount of money.
