mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 09/25/2012 6:09 pm Yep - it's the $5 note from the 1896 Educational note series. Hard to tell the condition from those pictures, but It's probably worth at least a few hundred dollars. If it was in clean, prime uncirculated condition a couple thousand bucks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_Series Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/26/2012 09:15 am Going by your pics it looks to be a good/very good but I am sure you can grade it better because you have the note in-hand. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
