My first purchase in paper money. I am wondering if anyone has mintage information or any values for these types of notes. Thanks, Spencer EDIT: Update - I just received an email from a currency purchaser online, and was estimated $100-$125 for this note, in "average circulated" condition. Is this a lowball or a good appraisal? Thanks
It's a nice low serial number and that can help values. Some other members might be able to help you with info on that particular bank and how many were issued. The images you posted are a bit too small for us to see the details, though some heavy damage is evident. Try using a scanner to image the notes if you have access to one, as it works better for showing details and doesn't require rigging up a camera, lighting, and so on. When scanning, place the note on the glass of the scanner, away from the edge of the scan bed. Lay a dark sheet of paper over the note to help define the margins of the note (don't crop the margins out, they are important to see how well a note is centered) and set your scan settings at 300 dpi. The upload image size should be 600 pixels on the longest side of the note (scan). A lot of us use Photobucket (free accounts) for hosting images as they don't reduce the file size as much as does CTs uploader. Hope that's some help. :smile
Well it's a type 2 bill. It looks like it has scotch tape residue on the front. Other than that it looks nice.Thats all I can say. Price is what ever you want to sell it for.
Thats a fair price to just anyone but for some from from Danbury CT can make that price SKY ROCKET. I've only seen one note from my small 2 square mile town ever and boy did it get high in price.
Thanks for the replies. I'll see what I can do once I get the note in-hand as far as scanning. If I ever decide to sell, I'll make sure to post it near Danbury
Oh, and I purchased it for $47.02 on eBay. I don't think I'll be selling as I am becoming fascinated with paper, not just coins anymore!
I like paper notes too, they're cool Btw, is that really a 1929? I didn't think there was a 1929 $20 bill. I thought it was 1928.
Small-size Nationals and FRBNs are Series 1929. All other types (FRNs, USNs, Gold Certificates, and Silver Certificates) started out as Series 1928.
Under normal situation, say when you don't have a book near by the lower charter numbers have been chartered for a longer time than higher one, and typically have a higher printage. There was over 13,000 chartered banks that issued NBN. But and I mean but! There are so many exceptions to that rule it's not funny! Small towns might of issued more $5 - it goes on and on. So a $20 from a small town could be valuable? If no one gives you data by tomorrow, I'll crack open my national book. Dang light timers have already kicked in, and typing this in bed.
