This is a genuine historically significant example of a Series of 1929, $20 National Bank Note issued by the First National Bank of Wilkes Barre, PA. National Bank notes are a fascinating era of US currency history, allowing locally chartered banks to issue currency backed by United States bonds. They were established immediately after the Civil War. This note was issued near the beginning of the Great Depression and the Black Friday Stock Market Crash.
This specific note features a remarkably early, low Federal Charter number…30.Please review the condition statement above and examine the photos as this is the exact bill you will receive.
Note on the ink color of the seal and serial number: The red color of the seal and serial numbers shows a distinct reddish tone as opposed to the standard dark brown color which is a common aging characteristic of the ink used in 1929.
I am not a professional currency grader, so these condition descriptions are just my opinion. The bill is technically ungraded.
And I am not a dealer or a store, just an old guy who needs to downsize.
