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 Michigan nationals is a little bit soft right now. I wouldn’t call it bad, but it can take a long time to find the right buyer. Banks in suburban Detroit towns are popular. You should also keep an eye out for notes from Upper Peninsula towns. Despite having a small population, lots of people have found memories of vacationing in that area and collect the notes. Today Detroit has a bad reputation. However, at one point in time it was a very wealthy old money type town. Lots of early notes are available from Detroit. Otherwise, anything printed before 1900 from Michigan is likely scarce. Rare notes tend to be found in circulated condition. Choice examples are much more difficult to locate.
