1953A Silver Certificate 5 Dollar Star Note - Very Fine (VF) - 1953-A Blue Seal Five Dollars Star Note - Fr.1656*

This listing is for the photographed 1953 A 5 Dollar Silver Certificate Star Note. Rarer star (replacement) note! Very Fine (VF) grade/condition, some folds and other signs of circulation. Great rarer addition to any collection! Fr.1656* (Friedburg Number 1656*).

On small-sized United States Notes, the U.S. Treasury Seal and the serial numbers are printed in red (contrasting with Federal Reserve Notes, where they appear in green). By the time the treasury adopted the small-size format in 1928, the Federal Reserve System had existed for fifteen years and there had been a decline in the need for United States Notes; the notes were mainly issued in $2 and $5 denominations in the Series years of 1928, 1953, and 1963. There was a limited issue of $1 notes in the Series of 1928, and an issue of $100 notes in the Series year of 1966, mainly to satisfy legacy legal requirements of maintaining the mandated quantity in circulation after the $2 and $5 denominations had been discontinued in August 1966. The BEP also printed but did not issue $10 notes in the 1928 Series. An example was displayed at the 1933 Worlds Fair in Chicago.
