This is a pretty rare bill. As of 07/2010 values are in the range $400 to $750 for a circulated bill. Uncirculated ones can bring $1500 or more.
The Chief 1899 $5 dollar silver certificate is paper money.
I looked it up at Heritage Auction Gallery and they have one that is priced at $3,025.00 so yours could be worth less than that if it's worn a little but it is a rare five dollar bill Silver certificate. I have a friend that also has one of them.Good Luck with it.
The 1899 $5 silver certificate depicts Running Antelope, one of the most famous warriors, orators, and a tribal chief in the Sioux Nation. He is one of the few individual Native Americans to be honored on a piece of US currency. Others were composite images (e.g. the chief depicted on the Indian Head nickel), posed portrayals (the Indian Head cent) or interpretations (the Sacajawea dollar). The bill was controversial, not because it depicted a Native American warrior but because its designers engraved a Pawnee headdress on Running Antelope's portrait rather than showing the correct Sioux headdress.
You will need to have your bill authenticated by a currency dealer. It should have a red seal and say "Silver Certificate". Current retail is in excess of $400. Also, note that a bill's serial number is rarely a factor in its value. The note's condition, date, and series letter (if any) are far more important.
Most likely you're referring to a Series 1899 $5 bill, also known as an "Indian Chief Note". As of 2012 these bills retail for $400 to $750 in circulated condition, and at least $1500 if uncirculated.

It was designed by the Chief Engraver of the mint, Frank Gasparro.
The 1899 $5.00 Silver Certificate is a very highly sought after note. It could be worth several hundred to a thousand dollars, depending upon the condition of the bill.This particular certificate had a very short mintage and was the last $5 note issued before the Lincoln portrait began to grace the front as the central design.BTW - did you know that this certificate was the only one to feature a Native American as the central design? The Indian featured in the design of the $5.00 certificate is Chief Running Antelope, wearing his full, magnificient headress. It is quite a work of art, don't you think?
Please post a more detailed question including the coin's date, a description of the wording and the image on the reverse side. There is no circulating U.S. half dollar with a chief's portrait. The closest image in my catalogs among commemorative halves is an Arkansas Centennial coin struck in the 1930s, but a woman's face is more prominent than that of the native chief.
The Indian chief was named Pontiac
