If so, I'd like to know what the value may be for this silver certificate. Prices are all over the place on ebay. This one appears to be in well above average condition. It doesn't look like it has any significant folds or creases.

The Rarest Silver Certificates: The Hawaii WWII Issues​


On August 15th, 1942 the US Government declared that due to World War II the only currency that would be considered valid on the Hawaiian Islands would be Emergency Silver Certificates. These Hawaii notes were printed for use in Hawaiian Islands after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. These Silver Certificates have "Hawaii" running vertically on both the right and left ends of the face side, with large letters outlined across the back.

I've always wanted to get some of those....

One like this sold at local auction 2 weeks ago for $85 and not near the condition of the one pictured here. If you can get that bill for under $120 I would buy it and definitely have it graded. This assuming it hasn't been ironed or tampered with.

Thanks. I went through a coin collecting phase when I was a kid and bought it then. I ran across it the other day hiding in a drawer. As suggested I'll have to look into getting it graded and then maybe trying to sell it.
 
I bought a early funny back for $35 last year at auction, but I doubt it will grade out above F20, but it should receive Premium Paper classification.

I have one of those bills around here somewhere. If anyone is interested in buying it, send me a PM. I forgot that I even had it.
