1896 $5 VF.
|
|
Fr# 268. Excellent presentation at VF for this extremely popular educational note. An attempt was made to repair two small edge tears toward the left of the top margin, but we were not fooled. |

|
1896 $5.00. VF.
|
|
Fr# 269. A very-fine example of the most popular of the "educational series" of notes. The paper faces up well, but a small edge tear just breaks into the extreme right margin. |
|
| 149 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $1,750.00 |
|
1896 $5.00. F.
|
|
Fr# 270. Highly acceptable for the "fine" level, especially as this is an original, unpressed note. The grade could be higher if not for a half-dozen pinholes left of center. |

1896 $5.00. PMG AU-50.
|
|
Fr. 270. Remarkably luminescent paper exhibits the famed "Education Note" motifs to best advantage, and each side is pretty well centered. Faces up practically as UNC, with very dark serial numbers. |

|
1896 $5.00. F.
|
|
Fr# 268. The $5 silver certificate is the third and last of the popular "educational series". An allegorical group of figures on the front demonstrate that electricity is the dominant force in the... |

|
1896 $5.00. VF.

|
Fr# 268. Incredibly original, this gorgeous "educational series" note has never been pressed, and remains just as the day it was set aside from someone's wallet. It has been allowed to retain the... |

| 40 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $600.00 |
|
1896 $5.00. VG.
|
|
Fr-269. The demand for educational notes never goes down, so a well worn example like this provides a meaningful alternative to a much more expensive note. This five has been flattened and pressed,... |

| 133 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $675.00 |
|
1896 $5.00 VG.
|
|
Fr-269. A well used 1896 education note that might have graded fully "fine" if not for some smallish internal tears at the folds. A little dim, as would be expected of a worn note, but a serviceable... |
|
| 134 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $2,600.00 |
|
1896 $5.00. PMG VF-25.
|
|
Fr-269. One thing that becomes instantly apparent when viewing this note is that it has never been pressed. Every fold that accounted for the grade can be clearly seen. Vivid ink color remains. |

1896 CHCU
|
|
Fr-269. If you are still seeking this type, but are waiting for a truly original, truly bright, truly colorful, and truly crisp CHCU example, then your search is over. This note is, frankly, flat... |

|
1896 $5.00. VG.
|
|
Fr-270. Popular type in all grades, and a note part of one of the most in-demand series -- the Educational series. The front looks nicer than the grade assigned, but a tape repair and toning seen on... |
|
| 160 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007 | $6,000.00 |
|
1896 $5.00. AU.
|
|
Fr-270. The centering is virtually perfect on this Educational that some may consider CU. It is bright, but a tiny area on the bottom margin appears to have been lightly nicked, so AU is probably... |
|
| 166 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007 | $2,600.00 |
|
1896 $5.00. VF.
|
|
Fr-270. The scarcest signature combination of the three Friedberg numbers for this persistently popular Educational type. It appears lightly pressed, but the color is nice for the grade, and so are... |

|
1896 $5.00. VF.

Fr-270. One of the most popular types in the Silver Certificate series. This example is very pretty with a positive layout and mostly bright paper. There appears to be a waxy gloss on areas of the... |
