jackson64 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I am a coin collector and don't know much about Paper money...to make this short, a friend in my small Bible study group knew I collected coins and brought some for me to look at...he also had some paper money...I told him I had limited knowledge but would try and get him some info... For example, he had an 1890 $5 bill with an Indian in the middle, a 1901 $10 bill with a buffalo...and a few others which I can't remember from about the same period. He got them from his dad and just stuck them (along with the coins) in his SDB at the bank for the last 20+ years.... if anyone knows of a website or reference page I can refer him to it would be appreciated...thanks, Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcavo Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 To get a better idea of what you have, we would need the signatures on the bottom of the obverse, and the general condition. The $5 is an 1899 not 1890. You can also purchase a Friedberg book, Paper Money of the United States, which would point you in the right direction.

oldbucks-migration Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Vinny is right, the full title of the book is "Paper Money of the United States" by Arthur and Ira Friedburg. Published by The Coin and Currency Institute. Its a great reference book. 18th Edition. Do not get the one published by Whitman. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcavo Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 If you are going to be a avid collector and want some good info, go to www.trackandprice.com. Along with the census, they give you sig combinations when referencing a particular FR number. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
