(About The Images)
1923 $5 VF. 1923 $5 VF.
Lot Title: 1923 $5 VF.
Description: Fr# 282. At a strong VF level, this becomes an affordable yet quite nice porthole five for type purposes. Perhaps cold-pressed very lightly, but the paper retains an original appearance.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $800.00
High Estimate: $1,000.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.
Hammered Price: $800.00

28The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$650.00
1923 $5 F.
Fr# 282. Probably a technical very-fine example, but "35" is written in pencil on the front and the creases are a trifle strong for this popular porthole five. Strictly original but correspondingly...
67The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$1,825.00
1923 $5 PCGS VF-35PPQ.
Fr# 282. Gorgeous porthole that looks every bit of XF+ within the certified holder. Minor creasing along the length probably decides the conservative grade, but bidders will appreciate the strong...
159The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$2,800.00
1923 $5.00. CU.
Fr# 282. Big, even margins center both faces to perfection, with the back especially attractive. Outstanding color on this commendable "porthole" note.
48The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,950.00
1923 $5.00. XF.
Fr. 282. Visual appeal is like that of an UNC, as the paper remains fairly bright and contrasts well with the ink. Strong for the XF grade level.
49The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$3,500.00
1923 $5.00. CU.
Fr. 282. A very attractive porthole note that appears to be at least UNC, even under close inspection. Edges and corners are exceptionally sharp, even though the note has the look of having been...
126The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$1,100.00
1923 $5.00. VF.
Fr-282. An example of a type note that seems to be getting harder and harder to obtain -- the Porthole. Decent color remains, and the relatively crisp paper is free from pinholes. Likely pressed at...
115The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$750.00
1923 $5.00. PMG Choice Net F-15, split repair.
Fr-282. No collection is complete without the popular Porthole note. For many, they can get pretty expensive in high grade, so please consider this Choice Fine to represent the type in your...
167The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$3,500.00
1923 $5.00. PMG AU-58.
Fr-282. Looks like an Uncirculated note with bright paper and appealing printing. If you have been to any currency shows recently, you already know how elusive Porthole Silver Certificates are this...
171The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$2,300.00
1923 $5.00. AU.
Fr-282. Solid AU example of one of the most popular Silver Certificate types, a Porthole note. The design is nicely centered on the paper, and the blue ink appears nearly as rich today as it likely...
