Discover the charm of historical U.S. currency with this 1953a $5 Star Note in Very Fine 20 (VF20) condition, encapsulated and graded by PCGS with an "Apparent" designation. Here's why this note is a gem for collectors:


  • Denomination and Type: $5 Legal Tender Star Note, Series 1953a. Star notes are replacements for misprinted or damaged notes, making them rarer than standard issues.
  • Grade: VF20 by PCGS - This grade indicates the note has been circulated but remains in good condition. Expect to see light wear with full details and readable print but not as crisp as an uncirculated note.
    • Apparent: This notation typically refers to minor issues like a small tear, stain, or repair but does not significantly detract from the note's overall appeal or value. Rust on this note, more than likely from a paper clip. 
  • Friedberg Number: Fr. 1533*, a reference used by collectors to categorize and value U.S. currency.
  • Design:
    • Front: Features the portrait of Abraham Lincoln, with the treasury seal and serial numbers in red, signifying it as Legal Tender (United States Note).
    • Back: Shows the "Redeemable in Lawful Money..." text, a hallmark of Legal Tender notes, with the intricate design typical of the era.
