Description :

A striking example of mid-20th century U.S. currency, this 1934A Series Five Dollar Silver Certificate showcases the enduring portrait of Abraham Lincoln flanked by bold denomination markers and a vivid blue Treasury seal. Notably, this specimen features dual serial impressions—one in red and one in black—a rare printing anomaly that enhances its appeal to advanced collectors.

Key Details:

  • Denomination: $5

  • Series: 1934A

  • Serial Number: H14167088A (appears in both red and black ink)

  • Seal: Blue U.S. Treasury seal

  • Signatures: Julian / Morgenthau

  • Obverse Design: Abraham Lincoln portrait, “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “FIVE DOLLARS,” and “WASHINGTON, D.C.”

  • Reverse Design: Lincoln Memorial with denomination markers

  • Dimensions: Approx. 6.14" x 2.61"

  • Condition: [Insert condition—e.g., VF with light folds and edge toning; no tears or pinholes]

Historical Insight:

Silver certificates were once redeemable for physical silver, making them a tangible reflection of U.S. monetary policy. The 1934A series is prized for its transitional design and wartime-era issuance. The dual-tone serial anomaly is especially desirable, often attributed to ink misalignment during the printing process.
