Basic Design:

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 Abraham Lincoln.

Current Market Analysis:  The market for Maryland notes is mostly lukewarm right now. There are a lot of great notes from Maryland. However, they rarely see the light of day. They are tied up in long term collections. You rarely see more than a couple of interesting notes sell per year. If you don’t mind settling for big city notes, then the state is fairly easy to collect thanks to the huge supply of notes from Baltimore. Some old school collectors try to avoid Baltimore notes at all cost. Most collectors like notes from smaller towns. The location of the town is also important. Western Maryland notes aren’t quite as popular as notes from inside the beltway. There are lots of high-grade notes out there as bankers tended to save lots of the notes they signed.
