Pretty amazing find tonight.

I know it's not a coin, but pretty amazing. Received this $5 when I stopped by a local craft brewery tonight to pick up a six pack. The oldest currency I've ever received in change. Previous to this was a series 1950D $10 back in the late 70's when I was in high school.

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

    I don't think I would have noticed the difference, if not for the date. He's been tucked away and protected in a nice place for 89 years! Nice find! 👍🏻

    Shadow from the lighting angle in the pic?

    That’s in pretty decent shape. I bet someone’s relative passed and their small collection got reintroduced into circulation.

    I too think that's a shadow.

    Great find! I got a 1934 $5 in change some years ago, but it wasn't quite that nice, gradewise.

    It's really nothing that would be worth putting a grade on. What you can't see is the fold line down through the middle.

    Just to add....

    The note pictured is a Series 1934C. They were produced starting in January 1947.

    And with William Alexander Julian's signature on it, the date can be narrowed down to between 1947 and 1949.

    I never get to find anything cool, as I use plastic 99% of the time. Lol!

    That's a pretty cool find. Paper quality and ink look really good. Probably about a VF30 grade, just for reference.

    My initial thought was shadow. Now that I look at is again, you're probably right.

    @Bikingnut - What is it?

    The stain looks to bleed over on to the background surface, so I assumed it was a shadow…

    Nothing that a washing machine and dryer can’t fix. Lol.

    Guy has to spend his vintage bill collection for some Brewski. At least his priorities are in order!
