    I have this 1929 Sec. First Bank L.A.
    the Cut is VERY bad (LOW) And IT feels a bit odd..
    I am new to currency.. Does this look Counterfeit?
    What might the Value Be? Thanks for any help.

    "there are 499 known notes to be outstanding..yours may be just be 500
    "
    I hate to sound uneducated.. But.. What does that say about the Value?
    I know it is in rough shape? And it looks real? Would it be normal to have such a shift in the Print/Cut?

    OT: I have to say thanks.. I LOVE THIS SITE!

    It does not say anything about value...it is not counterfeit, it is in what is considered "VG8 to VG -10". You would need to do a Archive search on Heritage or other Auction House to see what other examples have sold for.

    Since 500 or more may be extant, I would think it would not be too valuable...and yes, the way the paper is cut can vary and be quite diverse.

    When there is only 10-15 known, then they're worth alot.

    These notes were delivered to the banks in sheets and cut by the banks. They were not always precise in their cutting.
