Answer
There were no red seal $20 notes issued by the U.S. in 1929. If you have a National Currency note its seal will be brown.
You need to check the issuing bank to determine its value. For more information, see the price guide at:

It's also possible that the bill you have has faded or otherwise changed color over the last 80 years. The front of a 1929 note looks very different from the more common Federal Reserve Notes issued at the same time. See the Related Link for a sample of one bank's printing.
National Currency notes were issued by private banks under a charter from the federal government. They were first authorized during the Civil War and were discontinued in 1929 as the Federal Reserve system gradually assumed authority for all currency printed in the U.S.
