    Desirable note.

    Can you take F&R photos with the note removed from holder, to reduce glare and, on a solid colored surface and include 100% of the note with no corners missing. Condition can make prices vary hundreds of dollars.

    Looks like a nice condition note, with annotation in pencil maybe on the reverse. A good $75-$100 note I'd think, that annotation is the wild card.

    Thanks for the additional photos @rootintootin 55 .

    Note appears to be in XF condition with good centering. If the writing on the back margin is pencil, you could carefully remove (erase) it. I would value the note between $75-$150...maybe more if holdered.

    In the $75-100 range. If you try and erase the pencil marks do so lightly. A heavy hand on the eraser will leave a worse looking white mark on the bill. Do a test on a common $1.00 bill from you pocket first. Very nice example of an Hawaiian Note.

    Don't try to erase it yourself. You may erase some of the value.
    This is a nice note. And the price range is wide. The condition seems pretty nice.

    I've found that erasing pencil on currency doesn't always have a good outcome. Considering how small and anodyne the writing is, I would leave the note be and leave well enough alone.

    Nice note, however the "graffiti" on the back boarder would significantly
    Affect the value especially in a TPG setting, most who collect notes like
    These want something problem free, the grade is not the problem, but
    Ant type of pin holes, writing , staple holes or anything to detract from
    The note is a negative.

    Maybe try using art gum eraser which is like silly putty and moldable. You just press it down repeatedly without rubbing. You can find the erasers at hobby/craft stores or art supply stores like Michael's. This should lighten if not erase the writing without any damage to the paper

    I've started collecting these... there are 6 total notes, not counting star notes $1 Silver Cert, $5 and $5A, $10, $20 and $20A.

    What I've noticed is that finding nice $5 examples is actually quite difficult. The A series you have tends to go for a little bit less, but overall, the $5 tend to be good sellers.

    NO! ... DON’T ERASE ANYTHING!!

    I’m being completely serious ... not a wise guy. You can and probably will do more physical harm if you try and fix it. If anyone would do it ... let it be a professional. It’s there. It’s too late to change that.

    Love that note! Can anyone shed some light for me as to why they have Hawaii printed all over it?

    the way I understand it ,is the U S A thought japan might invade Hawaii after the bombing of pearl harbor and use our currency against us so the gov. recalled legal currency and issued the Hawaii bills so that they could declare them no good instantly .I think they gave two hundred dollars per person and five hundred per business .when there was no invasion the gov. recalled the Hawaii bills and burnt them in a crematory and sugar factory . but a few servicemen keep them for souvenirs . they were issued In 1,5,10,and 20 not sure of 50 and 100 notes
