An amazing find tonight

Stopped at a local craft brewery tonight to pick up a six pack and I received this series 1934 $5 in change. Oldest currency I've ever received in change. Previous to this was a Series 1950D 10$ that I received in the late 70's when I was in high school.


US Navy CWO3 retired. 12/81-09/04

Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.

    We're lucky that some fool didn't retrieve it and write "Counterfeit" across the face.

    That one has been in hiding for about three quarters of a century. When were 34Cs delivered?

    Looks like a mini gutter fold, right on the corner. Cool find.

    Had to have come from a collection in that shape. A lot of this game is just being in the right place at the right time. Awesome find.
