The note looks real. It was found in the southern Palawan Philippines by treasure hunters together with some old coins & gold. I can send a copy to anyone who can help.

It's a phony. These have been around for years, usually with the same story. Please check the link below for the entire story, a bit of which I repeat here:
These "federal notes" are not currency, neither are they bearer bonds. They are in fact crude forgeries that appear to have originated out of the Philippines. The "story" being told is that the United States shipped them to Philippine freedom fighters in the WW II era to help with the war effort. Some "investors" have brought them to us in so-called "Federal Reserve" metal boxes.
A photo of the 'bond' you describe is included.

If this is something different, then Yes, I would like to see a photo.

The largest US paper currency denomination was the $100,000 gold certficate of 1934. These were never in general circulation, just used for bank settlements. The only silver certificate of 1928 was the $1 bill.

Sounds like it might be a bill used to transfer money from one bank to another bank. Be careful who you talk to, as dealers may not be honest. Most antique dealers offer about 10 percent of an items actual value. Ten percent of value seems to be the standard markup. If it is real, it should still be worth its face value.
You could try depositing it in a bank, and let the bank figure it out.
Good luck.

Try going on line to the U.S. Mint. I think you can find them at www.USMint.gov.
