1929 $100 US National Currency Note Salisbury, Maryland PMG VF 30 (Stains, Pinholes)

From the Eastern Shore town of Salisbury, Maryland, this 1929 $100 National Currency Note is a scarce relic of America’s local banking era. Certified PMG VF 30 with notations for Stains and Pinholes, the note displays solid circulation quality while preserving its design strength and historical appeal. High-denomination notes such as this were produced in far smaller quantities than their $5, $10, or $20 counterparts, making them especially challenging to find today.

The 1929 National Currency series was the final issue of U.S. National Bank Notes, printed in small-size format. Unlike Federal Reserve Notes, these carried the name of the issuing bank, its charter number, and city of origin, making them directly tied to local communities.

For Salisbury, Maryland, the issuance of high-denomination $100 notes reflects the economic role of regional banks in supporting business and commerce during the late 1920s and early 1930s. With the Great Depression leading to widespread bank closures, many such notes were quickly redeemed and destroyed, leaving relatively few survivors for modern collectors.
