What is the value of a 1934 A five dollar bill silver certificate note with a yellow seal?

Answer 1

Current (08/2008) values range from $20 in worn condition to $60 if nearly new.

During WW2 the U.S. printed 1934-dated bills with special seal colors designating what combat area they could be used in. Bills intended for military use in North Africa had yellow seals. Bills for Hawaii had brown seals.

The idea was that they would be valid as ordinary currency for use by soldiers, companies, etc., but if the area was captured by the Nazis or Japanese the overprinted bills could be quickly declared worthless. That would prevent the enemy from using captured U.S. money to buy supplies or in espionage.
