⭐ 1929 $50 – Citizens National Bank of South Bend, Indiana–PMG 35 

🔵 A Scarce $50 Type 1 From a Major Indiana Charter

This 1929 $50 National Bank Note comes from the Citizens National Bank of South Bend, Indiana, a historically significant institution operating under Charter #4473. This example carries serial B000973A and is graded PMG 35 Choice Very Fine, offering strong originality and excellent eye appeal for the type.

🔵 Bright, Well‑Centered, and Fully Original

The note shows bright, even circulation, well‑balanced margins, and the bold ink quality expected from a premium mid‑grade Type 1. The paper remains clean and fully original, with no distracting issues. For a $50 denomination — a type that saw heavy commercial use — this grade is especially desirable.

🔵 A Tough Denomination From a Popular Indiana City

South Bend is one of Indiana’s most historically important commercial centers, and notes from its national banks have long been collected for their regional significance. High‑denomination $50 notes are far scarcer than $5s, $10s, or $20s, and they seldom appear in attractive grades.

🔵 Population & Rarity

From this charter, there are only:

• 154 small‑size notes reported
• 42 large‑size notes

A $50 Type 1 from this bank in PMG 35 sits in the upper tier of surviving examples.

🔵 A Strong Addition to Any National Bank Collection

This is a premium mid‑grade $50 from a historically rich Indiana charter, combining condition, scarcity, and regional appeal. A standout opportunity for collectors of:

• Indiana nationals
• Type 1 issues
• High‑denomination 1929 notes
• PMG‑certified mid‑grade examples
