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: We could talk for days about the market for Florida national bank notes. We have handled lots of rarities from this state and have a great feel for values. There has always been a strong numismatic community in Florida. There are more coin shops in Florida than any other state in the country. Many of these dealers are also collectors and they can drive the prices for truly rare items. First charter notes from Florida are very scarce. The type of note is always important. However, the town and bank rarity often trumps everything else. The rarest notes from Florida are probably worth more money than equally rare notes from any other state. We would love to chat about your note from Florida if given the chance.
