Found 2 very nice finds, one rarity...I think

I sell books through Amazon and I found a book on paper money of the United States. While thumbing through the book, I found this 1963 red seal $5.00 bill and I also found a 25 cent note that is in terrible shape, but it was a neat find. It is awesome to find these on a day that I was not even trying to find silver or old notes. What do ya'll think about the 25 cent note?

Dude, that's a pretty awesome story. You may have already looked but here are some 25 cent notes that sold on ebay:

4th Issue 25 Cent Fractional Currency Well Circulated | eBay

25 Cents Fractional Currency 4th Issue | eBay

US 25 Cents George Washington Fractional 4th Issue | eBay

I don't know anything about them but they look like the one youve got there, besides the condition

Damn, I can't even imagine how surprised I'd be to find a fractional note somewhere. That's freaking awesome! The red seal is pretty damn nice as well.

I always checks the books at my local thrift shop. even a quick Dump and Flip scan can reveal cool stuff. Once I found a series of 5 2$ bills from 1954 in MINT shape flipping through an old Thesaurus. Didn't even need to buy the book

1953? There were no 1954 $2 bills.

EDIT: Nevermind, you are Canadian then, I presume? Didn't even think to check where you were from (I'm using the app, lol).
