Cleaning out some old albums of baseball cards (what a waste) and ran across this Series of 1929 $20 bill from Saint Marys, PA bank. Had this since I was a kid and know nothing about currency. Any history and value input would be appreciated. It does have slightly rounded corners, a very minor tear in one side, and two small pinholes. Thank you.

I found a page full of Charter #6589 on Heritage Archives.

Is that a stain along the bottom margin, or a photo shadow ?

Thanks Steve. No it is thankfully not a stain, but a photo shadow.

It's a more-common Type 1 note, probably VF, not rare - this would likely be priced at $80+ at a show, possibly more at a PA show.

What you have is known as a National Bank Note. Series 1929 Nationals come in two types: Type 1's came in a sheet of 6 notes with the same serial number but different plate positions. Type 2's were also issued in a sheet of 6 however each note carried a sequential serial number (e.g. 1,2,3,4).

CoinFrog is correct that Type 1 small size nationals are common compared to Type 2's.

Going by the prices realized on the HA link above, I'd say $80 is likely the least you could expect for this note.
It's a nice note thanks for sharing.
