Fresh Find Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 05/14/2023 8:37 pm A couple of months ago I finally made it to a coin dealer to ask him some questions about some things I had and he took a look at this $5 bill and thought that it might be an error He's never seen anything like it before would this be classified as an error?

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/14/2023 9:55 pm Interesting, but yeah, wrong forum. Many of us here (certainly myself) know nothing about paper currency and won't be able to help with this. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 05/14/2023 11:33 pm I know about, but I want to know what that dealer mention by never see before? This it is an 1988A. If was refer to the transparency?, in this case we look for the legitimate note. Do you can see the silver wire? I can tell you: This it is Philadelphia ( C ) , second print after change in signature due to the new treasurer and the note not emitted for all banks.

The only thing that makes sense is calling it a series 1988A. Everything else is nonsense. Silver wire ? Philadelphia ? New Treasurer ? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 08:21 am For Silvio, English is his second (or third) language - French is his primary, Sometimes we all need a translator for him, but he is knowledgeable. So, lets see - a translation: as for Philadelphia (C) - Look in the upper left corner (under the 5) see the 'C1'? that is the 'mint mark' C is to Philadelphia on US currency, just 'A' is for Boston, and 'B' is for New York. ..and that is just about all that I know about what all the numbers and letter mean on a US Note. There are others that are much better than me on this subject. But this may help you: https://www.uscurrency.gov/denomina...-identifiers Collecting since 1972.

I was talking about the seal and serial numbers but now that you mention it I looked it up and it says that it's a Kansas City note. And if you're talking about the security strip they didn't start doing that till 1990 Report this Post to the Staff

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 05/16/2023 7:44 pm It a 1988A Kansas City $5 Federal Reserve Note. No security strip was used at this time. As far as any transparency is concerned, the number one reason why some notes show some signs of this is because of fried foods. French-fries, chicken wings, cheese sticks and all kinds of different "bar" foods is transferred to paper money, causing it to appear transparent. Report this Post to the Staff
CoolBreeze Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 01:41 am http://goccf.com/t/445684#3847217 The note doesn't show a lot of handling. Maybe it's just the right lighting and a little back lit. If the seal and serial numbers have a little bit of punch you can probably get this effect without the grease or bar foods.
