How Much Is A 1889 $5 Bill Worth?

Five dollar bills from 1889 are often very rare. They are technically called national currency by collectors. These $5 bills from 1889 are part of a group of notes known as second charter national bank notes. Don’t get confused by the fact that 1889 and 1882 are printed on the $5 bill. 1889 is the charter date and 1882 is the series date. These bills can have either a brown seal or a blue seal. Brown seal five dollar bills tend to be more valuable. Their current value is based on the bank of issue, the serial number, and the condition. James Garfield is on the front of each note. In 1889 five dollars was the same as $189.65 today. Most people couldn’t afford to keep five dollars in 1889 for no reason.
