|
1899 $5 XF.
|

|
1899 $5.00. VF.
|
|

|
1899 $5.00. XF.
|
|

|
1899 $5.00 PMG XF-45.
|
|
Fr# 281. From within the PMG holder, this looks exactly like any other AU note, with blazing white paper and razor sharp edges. A terrific chief at only the XF level. |

|
1899 $5.00. PMG AU-50/trimmed.
|
|
Fr# 281. Extremely tight margins at top and bottom, but who really cares when an AU note looks this nice? Superior paper and ink look new at first glance. |

|
1899 $5.00. VF.

|
1899 $5.00. PCGS XF-45.
|
|
Fr. 277. Immensely attractive and easily knocking on the door of an AU grade. The lower left corner was once-folded, but there is nothing else even remotely negative about the gorgeous appearance. |

|
1899 $5.00. CHCU.

1899 $5.00. AU.

1899 $5.00. PCGS Apparent VF-25, small edge tear.
|
|
Fr-273. An outstanding AU appearance is not marred by any internal folds or problems, but PCGS notes "small edge tear at top center". Probably a rather drastic 25 point downgrade, though, as this is... |

|
1899 $5.00. AU.

|
1899 $5.00. VF.
|
|
Fr-1899. Bright, crisp, and colorful enough to qualify as an XF, but just a fold or two under that grade. Nicely margined, and original. Great type note. |

|
1899 $5.00. XF.

Fr-278. Three light folds, but otherwise showing many of the qualities of a higher-graded note. Great dark-blue seal and crisp white paper. Better Tehee/Burke signatures. |

|
1899 $5.00. PMG AU-55.

|
1899 $5.00. C.G.C GemCU-65.
|
|
Fr-272. CGC has understandably given this note a "gem uncirculated' (65) grade, and there is no doubt that this is a marvelous note. Edges are very sharp, with only the upper left corner being not... |

|
1899 $5.00. CU.

|
1899 $5.00. XF.

|
1899 $5.00. VG.
|
|
Fr-278. A Teehee/Burke signature combination example of a popular type. Heavily circulated, but probably conservatively graded as the paper in not torn, and there are no pinholes. |

| 161 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $475.00 |
|
1899 $5.00. F+.
|
|
Fr-281. Solid for the grade F+, and some viewers will likely determine that the VF grade is more appropriate. The paper is mostly white and is overlaid with mostly preserved printing. |
|
| 162 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $600.00 |
|
1899 $5.00. F.
|
|
Fr-280. An original example of a somewhat more common Elliot/White type. A minor margin tear and pinhole are seen on the top margin, but otherwise this is a commendable example of the grade. |

|
1899 $5.00 Star. VF.

|
1899 $5.00. XF.
|
|
Fr-278. Looks like an Uncirculated note at first sight as the folds are not seen initially and the color is so vibrant. Only when closely viewed will three light folds be seen. Possibly pressed at... |

|
1899 $5.00. AU.
|
|
Fr-280. A bright Chief Silver Certificate with a strong ink presence. The top margin is cut a tad tight, but not into the design. Great paper preservation and crispness. |

|
1899 $5.00. XF.
|
|
Fr-271. Crisp and original enough to grade higher, and the color is definitely nice enough, but three vertical folds and an erased pencil marking only allow for the XF grade. Scarce Lyons - Roberts... |

|
1899 $5.00. GemCU.

|
1899 $5.00. XF.
|
|
Fr-280. Rich color and bright white paper make this note appear like an AU Chief example. However, it has evidently been lightly pressed as the folds that make it an XF are somewhat hidden. The... |

| 153 | The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006 | $1,000.00 |
|
1899 $5.00. XF.

|
1899 $5.00. AU.

Fr-278. Wonderfully bright Chief note with fantastic color. Only a very minor center fold prevents this better signature variety from grading Unc. Nice margins. |

|
1899 $5.00. XF.
|
|
Fr-280. Some may consider this note, at the very least, an XF+, or possibly even an AU, but a couple of russet toning areas on the reverse probably will only allow for the XF grade. It is original... |

|
1899 $5.00. CHCU.

Fr-280. An excellent note with fantastic margins and lovely color. The paper is bright, the corners are sharp corners, and the appeal is strong. If only a top notch Oncpapa example is acceptable to... |
