propably dumb question, but i cant seem to find an answer to it so here i go. What is the idea behind the bills with the stamp and postmark on them?
On the year of the bicentennial of the United States, the $2.00 Federal Reserve Note was issued on 13 April 1976 (Thomas Jefferson's birthday). People took the newly issued notes to the post office and placed stamps on the note to have them postmarked with the date of the first day of issue. Most of the $2 notes with stamps and postmark will have the 13 April 1976 postmark. Fewer will have a postmark of 04 July 1976, the day the United States celebrates Independence Day.
This is a bill I've had for a little while, if you notice it is cut really close to the right edge does that increase the desirability? is that considered a print error?
You really need to catch part of another note to get a premium. If only one side is shifted it's a misprint. If both sides are shifted in the same area it's a miscut. This one is considered a minimal misprint.
I got some notes in the mail today! I'm really happy to get them. Here is the front and back of the note above:
WHOAH!! stunning errors Clay! I so need to play catch up with you in the error department, although IDK if I could get such nice specimens of the two you just posted!
simply stunning I'm wondering if I should get some of my errors graded. I don't think I'll ever get rid of them, but I wonder how that works.
