1923 $5 Large Size Silver Certificate "Porthole Note" Grades vf+ Signatures Speelman/White. FR-282 When this “Porthole” $5 Silver Certificate was released in 1923, it met with public outcry. According to public opinion, President Abraham Lincoln appeared to be sitting at the end of a gun barrel! For this reason, individuals called for the immediate dismissal of the notes. Today, it’s estimated that only 2,500 to 4,000 of these large-sized $5 Lincoln “Porthole” notes still exist! They’re also ranked #30 in Q. David Bowers’ 100 Greatest American Currency Notes. Simply put, these notes are not something you want to pass up! This is the last design type for large-size $5 Silver Certificates. It is a one-number type seen only in the Speelman-White signature combination.The 1923 Lincoln “Porthole” $5 Silver Certificate is one of the most popular notes ever issued" r. The first—and only—large-size silver certificate to feature President Abraham Lincoln, the obverse design featuring Lincoln earned the nickname “porthole” for the large circle surrounding the 16th President. The centerpiece of the note’s reverse is the Great Seal of the United States. Lincoln's portrait was engraved by BEP engraver Charles Burt, based on a photograph by Anthony Berger. The back is executed in green and features the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States at center
