The fellow who runs the likker store knows I collect coins, and showed me something he got in the till....Im not a currency guy so I dont know what it is...a $5 silver certificate, yellow seal, series 1934 A ...I think that was it.....any value? avg. circulated condition..
AND (heres the funny part) He tells me he got an OLD nickel, a 1911
I tell him "Yeah, I spend them here, and at the WaWa"
..........for the life of him he could not understand why I do that

It stood out not because it was a silver certificate, but just because it was an old-style five. Practically everything I see now are are the new purpley-colored ones. It's gotten to where old small-portrait bills (with the exception of the dollar, of course) are just not so commonly seen.
(The scans are lousy, but it's a 1934-C.)
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
No idea if it would fetch a premium, though.
I took a bunch of average circ. small size $1 silver certificates to a leading dealer over the summer - he wouldn't make an offer and said "spend 'em".

Odd? My ex-wife told me I was worthless and that I wasn't worth sheet! You mean I was actually worth $4?
now when you said funny thing happened when you bought some beer.... I was thinking something totally different!

Thought that was Archie Bunker.

I've seen this a bit too but mostly incorrectly applied. It seems like a tactic for basically telling you "ill take it off your hands for face and it's not worth anything".
Remember, maybe 10-20 years ago dealers were telling collectors/customers to spend small size national notes that were offered. Now they're worth a bit more

$11.50 if ambro pays the shipping. This is contingent on the currency grading in the MS range.
