As of 2021, the United States Note remains the longest-running form of paper currency in American history. Also known as the Legal Tender Note, the United States Note was only the second form of American paper money issued following the Demand Note and was in circulation from 1862 to 1971. In 1928, the United States Note was downsized to take on the format Americans are now familiar with in the Federal Reserve Note. Right now, 1928 $5 Legal Tender Notes are available to purchase online from JM Bullion in Very Fine condition.
Note Highlights:
Each 1928 $5 Legal Tender Note available at JM Bullion comes with an individual plastic currency sleeve. The notes offered here are in Very Fine condition with common signs of wear and tear. Notes in this condition have rounded edges, numerous fold lines, and the potential for mild soiling. Overall, the paper of the note is crisp and relatively clean for its age.
The 1928 Series of note designs authorized by the Treasury called for a standard design across the two major forms of American money at the time: these Legal Tender Notes and the Federal Reserve Notes. In order to tell the two apart at first sight, the serial numbers and the Treasury seals on the notes were printed in different inks. The Legal Tender Note was printed with red ink for these features, while the Federal Reserve Note was issued with green ink.
The obverse of the 1928 $5 Legal Tender Note comes with a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln. His effigy has appeared on countless versions of American paper money, with his first appearance on United States Notes coming on the $10 and $100 denominations in the 1860s.
On the reverse side of 1928 $5 Legal Tender Notes is a depiction of the Lincoln Memorial. These two combined design elements remained on the United States Note through 1971 when it was removed from circulation. The 1928 Series United States Notes only consisted of three denominations, with the $5 note the largest available after the reformatting of the US Note to its small-sized format.
