One of the most popular Silver Certificate designs in American history was the Running Antelope effigy. Overall, this image has been classified as one of the ten greatest American paper note designs in history, surpassed only by the Educational Series in the minds of many collectors. Today, 1899 $5 Silver Certificate Chief Notes in Very Fine condition are available to you online at Silver.com.

Note Highlights:

  • Available to ship to you in individual plastic sleeves!
  • Released in 1899!
  • Offered in Very Fine condition!
  • The face value of $5 (USD) was issued by the United States.
  • On the obverse is Running Antelope from the Hunkpapa tribe of Lakota.
  • The reverse has printed notations of the face value.

Silver Certificates were released by the United States in response to public disdain for the Fourth Coinage Act. That act not only had the effect of putting the US on the gold standard by default, but also ended the free coining of silver in the United States. Silver Dollars were exceptionally popular in circulation in the United States in the 19th century, particularly in the American West. Silver Certificates had face values backed by physical silver that were redeemable for silver dollars.

All of these 1899 $5 Silver Certificate Chief Notes are available to you for purchase in Very Fine condition. Though Very Fine is a broad term, you can expect Very Fine notes to present with modern wear and tear, mild soiling, and numerous fold lines at the worst, with the best notes in this condition showing light wear, light soiling, and seven to 10 fold lines. Regardless of the specific visuals, all of the notes are free from major detractions in the visual appeal. Each note comes with an individual plastic sleeve.

On the obverse of 1899 $5 Silver Certificates is the portrait of Running Antelope. His effigy was the first of an indigenous figure to feature major American currency. The portrait captures Running Antelope in front-facing relief with a large, ceremonial headdress. Silver Certificates of this era were issued with a US Treasury Seal and serial number in blue ink. This side of the note also has signatures from the Register of the Treasury and the Treasurer of the United States.

The reverse side of the 1899 $5 Silver Certificate Chief Note features ornate design patterns with the denomination of the note included. The denomination is captured in both Arabic and Roman numerals, with a large “V” at the center and two “5s” in the upper corners of the notes.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please feel welcome to call us toll free at 1(888) 989-7223 or use our Live Chat feature during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. CST. Alternatively, you can email us at help@silver.com and expect a response within 1 business day.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
