Description
United States five-dollar note, Series 1953-A, featuring the portrait of Abraham Lincoln at center on the face and an engraving of the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse. The note carries a red Treasury seal and red serial numbers, identifying it as a Legal Tender (United States) Note rather than a Federal Reserve Note or Silver Certificate.
The face bears the printed signatures of Ivy Baker Priest, Treasurer of the United States, and Robert B. Anderson, Secretary of the Treasury, along with the standard legal tender clause stating the note is valid for all debts, public and private. Serial number B80368456A appears in red at both upper right and lower left, with the Washington, D.C. issuing designation printed beneath the seal.
The note shows honest circulation wear consistent with its age, including multiple horizontal and vertical fold lines, soft corners, and overall toning to the paper stock. The lower right corner has a small chip/tear, and there is light soiling and edge softness typical of a note that has passed through hands over the decades.
