rw2de3 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/21/2024 9:43 pm Hello everyone! New to the forum, but have a question as to a $5.00 federal note I have. I have a 1963 Federal Note that does not have a serial number. Can anyone provide me with information regarding this bill? Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

I distinctly see an "A" on the upper right where the s/n should start. Additionally, the areas where the s/n were shows a bit of wrinkling where the wet chemicals were applied to the note.
