Lot 291		1899, $5 Silver Certificate. Fr-277. PCGS graded Very Good 10. The Indian appearing on this note was photographed by the Bureau of Ethnology.

A Pawnee war bonnet was procured from the National Museum but (as records indicate), the Indian refused to pose with it, as it belonged to a rival tribe. The bonnet was posed on an employee of the Engraving Division and photographed; was cut out and placed on the photograph of "Running Antelope" (correct name), and engraved by G. F. C. Smillie, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, in November, 1899. Running Antelope was a member of the Uncpapa or Hunkpapa Sioux. Estimated Value $375 - 475.
