I just found this 1934D Silver Certificate in change a few weeks ago. I know it's not rare or in good condition, but it's unusual to see these still circulating. Before I recently got interested in currency I would have just spent this, but I look at everything I get in change now. I just thought it was cool to find one of these. Bruce
I have gotten some SC $1's and some red seal deuces, but I have never gotten an SC $5 or $10 - so that is a pretty decent find.
Chances are it didn't. Most likely an older person spending it because they can't afford to keep it anymore and don't know where/how to sell it. Then there's the classic kid spending their parents old money. Same way a lot of the really old coins in excellent shape make it back into circulation.
Neat find! At my place of business a coworker of mine found a SC five, I myself have found a couple $1 SC and red seal 2. No fivers though, cool!
I agree with lincolncent, it probably came from someone's collection. Whatever the case, I'm happy to have found it circulating. Thanks for all the comments guys. Bruce
