Brief Description
A 'Large Size' US five-dollar bill featuring a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. It includes blue treasury seals and serial numbers, specifically featuring a 'star' at the end of the serial number signifying a replacement note.
Historical Significance
This was the first series of $5 Federal Reserve Notes issued following the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. These notes are significantly larger than modern US currency (often called 'Horse Blankets') and were back-redeemable in gold at the time of issue.
Estimated Value
$150 - $600 (Highly dependent on the specific Federal Reserve Bank seal and the grade/physical condition of the paper; star notes command a premium).
Care Instructions
Keep in a PVC-free, acid-free currency sleeve. Avoid folding, getting the paper wet, or exposing to direct sunlight, which can fade the blue ink and yellow the paper.
