In 1929, all Federal currency was transitioned from large sized to small sized notes in order to produce uniform and cheaper bank notes. These series 1929 small size National Bank Notes were issued from 1929 until the end of the National Bank Era in 1935. There were two types of National Bank Notes issued during this time, which had the same design but with different overprints. Type 1 notes were issued from July 1929 to May 1933 with the charter number overprinted twice in black on the ends of the obverse of the note, these notes were of the first issued National Bank Notes, making them more valuable than their Type 2 counterparts. Type 2 notes were issued from May 1933 to 1935 with the charter number overprinted four times, twice in black on the ends of the note, and twice in brown before the notes serial number. Small size National Bank Notes are commonly mistaken for the 1933 emergency issue of Federal Reserve notes, as they both used the same plate design. The easiest way to spot the difference between the two notes is to determine whether they were issued by a National Bank or a Federal Reserve Bank.
