The 1896 five dollar bill is one of the prettiest notes in the hobby. The 1896 five dollar silver certificate is the centerpiece of the Educational series. These notes were issued in 1896 and immediately caused a scandal because they were so racy. These notes are highly sought especially in high grades. This note can run from a few hundred dollars to 10,000 in Gem Condition. Contact me if you have a $5.00 bill from 1896 and want value information for it.
