NCBreaker11 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 11:39 am I work for a fairly large Bullion and Coin distributor, we usually don't purchase any small note silver certificates but we bought this off a loyal customer in a large collection, I had assumed it was a just a redeemed or canceled note but can't seem to find any info on it at all. Has the last 5 of the serial number punched in the note. Our note guy is out of town for several weeks, any help would be appreciated, Ben Report this Post to the Staff

This happened sometime after it left the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

Here's an example of an older version of one http://currency.ha.com/itm/miscella...ption-071515 Report this Post to the Staff
