    Most of the 1934C $5 SC's are wide faces. The narrow face plate notes make up only 2.5% of all the notes printed for the series. There are only four narrow face plate numbers: 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031. They were printed on SN blocks: N-A, P-A, Q-A.

    More info can be found in the Schwartz and Lindquist small size guide. :)

    I really like this variety! Here's a cool one I picked up not too long ago.

    OK thank you BaconPickles for the great information. I will check my cache of cash and will only report back if I have a small face.

    Sure thing, I'm happy to be able to contribute. The narrow face $5's are worth collecting regardless of condition. Even with damage, they are scarce survivors and are worth saving! Keep a lookout in bargain bins at shows and shops.

    Here's another P-A block narrow. This one with Fp.#2029

    Picked this up at the Brussels Airport from an ATM machine. Figured it would likely be that the note would be uncirculated, so took the chance. :)

    If you don't mind. What are the back plate numbers? I'm a freak about matching plate numbers.

    I like them so far. Except for that they all have Hank Paulsons signiture on them.

    The twenty dollar Chicago stars are worth 50 a piece. (According to Friedberg.)

    This is my latest submission after its return... This is an early pre WWII pound, and the first note to feature a Monarch. Unfortunately I didn't notice the fold near the watermark, that's why it only got a 45.

    I really like the back design of the old British pound.

    The Philipine 5 Pesos is really cool, I love the neoclassical design. Reminds me of old Mexican banknotes.

    Those New Zealand notes are super pretty too!

    I think that the second five dollar note, won best designed banknote of the year in 2015.

    That is Sir Edmund Hillary, the first European and maybe even the first man to climb Mt. Everest. He had an amazing life and did so many cool things.

    My favorite is the 1933 Phillipines note. Printed by the U.S., on our old equipment I think, and love the orange almost gold certificate-like reverses.

    I didn't know this before last spring, but our B. E. P. printed quite a few of the world's counties notes at one time or another, for exaple The Netherlands. Its fascinating learning the economic history of these notes and our history as an empire.

    Kinda like a U. S. Gold Certificate on the back of the Philippines '33. The American Banknote company started printing for them after we took partial control of the Islands after the Spanish American War. The 1920' s version of this note had President Wilson on it.
