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 Alexander Hamilton.

Current Market Analysis:  It is really easy to like national bank notes from Minnesota. Lots of little fancifully named communities had their own national bank. Many notes are hand-signed, which is always a bonus. In the late 1800s and early 1900s there were lots of European immigrants in Minnesota. They were fond of hoarding cash. Many otherwise very rare bank notes have been saved thanks to cash hoards that were discovered after decades in hiding. The good news is that there is no one area of Minnesota that is more desirable than another. The bad news is that prices for Minnesota notes are probably down 30% off their highs. However, rare and high grade notes still don’t have very much trouble finding a qualified home quickly.
