Cant be a Series 1928 F they only had in the 1928 series up to "D" and only Atlanta printed them..please post a pic so we can help you. RickieB In VF 20 the series 1928 D is ~ 1500.00 The sigs on the note would be Woods and Woodin If the note is a "Series 1928" and the the SN starts with an "F" then it was printed in Atlanta..it's value can run between 35.00 and 200.00 depending on many variables. The sigs on the Series 1928 will be Tate and Mellon they printed 10,964,400 notes BTW Steve..do you scuba? You must have just started being 15...the reason I ask is that when I was a younger man..I was a professional diver in the Gulf of Mexico Oil fields. Great Job..lots of fun but very dangerous!! RickieB
Here are some pictures of it and to answer your question RickieB i have gone scuba diving twice when i was on a cruz in the bahamas and i love it but i dont live anywhere near the ocean so i cant do it regularly. all my friends call me scubasteve because of the movie big daddy i dont no why but they all call me that so i used it as my username.
Looks like a 1928 F to me. The 1928F $5 red seal was printed in the late 40's early 50's. Snyder and Clark would be the two names printed on the note
Hey Scuba steve.. it is a "Legal Tender Note" that is/was a Series 1928F. The value ranges from 12.00 to 45.00 depending on condition. Pretty common with over 104,194,704 printed. Thought you were refering to the small size federal. You never said it was a "red seal" .I would have known right off it was a legal tender note. Still a nice note.. RickieB
Steve,that is a nice $5 banknote.I don't even know what the significance of the letter after the date is. Does anyone know? Aidan.
Well paper money isn't really dated. A bill that has 1928 on it isn't necessarily printed in 1928. The letter after the date signifies a minor change in the bill...which is usually a new US Treasurer. However it has changed a few times as to what changes the series designation. Here's a chart showing the different series and how they changes in relation to different treasurers and secretary's taking office http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/chron_s.html
Hey Aidan, When ever the Treasuer or Secretary of the Treasury is changed... the Series will denote with a letter. That is why some Series has A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,...That is why scubasteves note has Series 1928F..the signatures on the note are Clarke and Snyder 28E was Julian and Synder and 1928 D was Julian and Vinson... Hope that helps.. RickieB
hey thanks everbody u really helped me out a lot im just starting to get into collecting paper money and i thought i would ask about that five u guys r great thanks again for all the help
Thanks for those pointers.It is a pity that Pick doesn't have its listings for U.S. banknotes with the actual dates of issue indicated in brackets - eg; 1928 F (1940). Pick's listings for other countries' notes DO indicate the actual date of issue in brackets. Aidan.
Aidan, I think BEP keeps printing the notes for several years with the same series number if Treasurer and Secretary doesn't change. If I recall correctly, series 1995 was printed from 1995 till 1999. Series 1999 was printed from 1999 till 2003 and series 2003 is printed from 2003 till date. So, I think Pick didn't wanted to include all these years in brackets, so they may have dropped this detail from the listing. Regards, Ballabh Garg
Even if the signature changes they continue printing the old series until the plates wear out. Then they start the new series.
