Scanned Indian Chief

The coloring on the obverse is good. The rips along the borders and the one on the bottom center of the not bring down the grade / value significantly. I can't see if there are any pinholes. From what I can see, I would grade this note as Fine. As for your series 1899 question, the 1899 series was printed into the 1920s. A good way to get a ballpark year your bill was printed is by looking at the signature combinations. Your note was printed anywhere from 4-7-1898 to 6-30-1905.
