Anyone want to tell me what this is worth in this poor of condition? I cant find any online of similar condition. Thanks!

I'd estimate it at $75-$100, retail.

MEC2

Will easily sell double that. If you slabbed it a lowball collector might really go after it. As it is, a beat up $5 educational is till a $5 educational...

Timbuk3

Even in that condition, I like it !!!

numbersman

My best guess at grade would be a poor4(with damage).Est value,even raw,$200-$300 retail.

I guess that I was a bit conservative.

I stand corrected.

This rag on eBay sold for $215. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1896-5-SILVER-CERTIFICATE-Educational-Note-LARGE-SIZE-CURRENCY-FR268-RARE/322729582399?hash=item4b242e9f3f:g:yd4AAOSwAypZtESI

Yours is better. I would say $300 is a fair offer (as above). Could maybe ask $400.

I've seen a lot worse. It is a good looking bill.

Wow.

I agree, $300 seems to be a fair offer. That said, I'm going to hang on to it for a while and may try to find a good $1 to go along with it. I really appreciate all of the help. I'm new to coins and currency and have a lot of questions!
