LOCK34

Would anyone have any information on 1928 E Yellow Seal Five Dollar Bill. 1934 and 1935 information readily available for the North African bills but I have not found good information 1928 E. Thanks!

chemically altered to appear as an error

Are you referring to yellow seal?

You will get the best responses on the forum when you post photos showing the entire coin or note front & back.

altered error

Originally a Red seal and changed to a Yellow Seal post-BEP. A faux error often seen on planet eBay.

Thank you. Been in the family since the 1930’s. If true, someone did an excellent job on the color. Cannot distinguish it from the yellow on the other north african notes that I have.

One of the above photos is a full frontal but it posted as partial.

Lock34: I'm afraid the folks are right. Your note has been altered but why I cannot fathom. It's a good job and someone went to a lot of work but the condition of the bill doesn't make it that desirable. Now I could be wrong; I no 'expert' so maybe continue your research. Thanks for posting an interesting note.

Thank you. Will have someone take a look at it in person for a final determination. Has been in my mother’s possession for many years. Would have had to have been altered sometime in the 1930s.
