Wow! I love finds like that, not so much for the money, but for the
find itself.

It's like stepping back to 1922. You may be the first person to open
that page in all these years. Cool find congrats!

Dude send that $5 bill in to be slabbed you may have hit the jack pot.

where could i send it? im not sure i intend to sell it but it'd be nice to
keep it in good shape, incedentally, im amazed the acid in the pages of the
book didnt discolor the note, maybe because the book was old as well?

There's a company called CGA--don't think they have a web site but I did
find this info--
Currency Grading: Currency Grading and Authentication Inc (CGA).
Fees are about $25.00 per note. Information may be obtained from Cyrgalis at
PO Box 141235, Staten Island, New York 10314-008. or call (718) 983-5899
Or you could take it in to a coin dealer--they should be able to send it in
for you.
As far as the book goes--what kind of book was it? If it's as old as the
money it could be worth something too depending on it's shape and rarity.
I knew someone who also found some old currency inside and even older book
and the book was worth way more--something to consider. HTH

thanks for the info, the book is an old medical reference book, treatments
for cuts and what not, im not sure of its age, ill look tonite

CGC has hard plastic holders http://www.cgc.biz

CGA has a soft plastic holder http://www.cganotes.com

Both PCGS and NGC are now grading notes so if you are a member of either's
club, you might check with them.
