    Need to Know About 1953 Five Dollar Bill

    That's funny, I came across this site because I googled a five dollar bill that sounds just like Angelos, except like the guy above me, mine says the Sec of Treasury is C. Douglas Dillion and the Treasurer is Elizabeth Rudel Smith. There are no stars on my serial number. It is a 1953 B series. When I came across it about two years ago, I knew that from the date and color on the bill I had to keep it. I'm also confused as to how they put these two names on the bill if they served in office 8 years after the bill was printed?

    I moved your question that you had posted as a response to someone else's question to a thread by itself so as to avoid confusion here and to keep things fresh since your question is really a new one.

    The thread from where I moved your post is below, in case anyone wants or needs to know.

    Concernforufos - I am hopeing to get some information on the subject of the Signatures on different denominations by some one that takes office 4 to 7 years latrer. I know of some that were series 1950. I sent by E-MAIL
    today another request for information on just how this can happen . I called once before and got the number 2 man and he told me something that sounded well out in left field and the number 1 man was susposed to contact me and also E-Mail information on this subject, But I haven't heard anything from ,So that is why I E-MAILED HIM TO DAY , I got it off latter then I wanted to so I probably won't get anything till Monday, Get back to you a and a lot of others when I get the answers ;: Now to get to your question ::

    This is a SILVER CERTIFICATE< THERE WERE NO FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES PRINTED FOR 1953 series, SERIES 1953E was (FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE AND THE NEXT SERIES OF FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES WERE 1963 SERIES> ::

    VF-20 UNC-63
    #1657 . $ 8.50 $ 30.00
    #1657 * $ 2,500.00 $ 8,000.00
    The reson these are so much more in value is because there were only 3,249,000 printed ,And the second is for a star note ( #1657 * ) VF-20 means -VERY FINE CONDITION < GRADE 20 :: UNC-63 Means UNCIRCULATED CONDITION - GRADE 63 I hope I have answered your questions , I will let you know on the other just as soon as I hear, Have a great day and GOD BLESS:: F.B.E.

    Hello CRaig , how are you Im doing OK , Have a great day and GOD BLESS F.B.E.
