Question
What is the value of a 1929 $50. national currency with a red or brown seal and is stamped, The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago?
Hi Melinda, Collector value of a note depends on date, series letter or signature and condition, including amount of wear, any folds, tears or stains as well as collector demand. It is worth about $60 or more.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison:
