I'm thinking about buying some uncut $2 bills from a guy at my local antique mall and he wants (roughly) $65 for it... is it a good deal or no? (I do not have any pictures) EDIT: It is a 2x3 sheet.
I'd pass if I were you. I don't believe that the BEP produced 2x3 sheets of $2.00 notes. A previous owner might've cut off the bottom or top notes.
I may be wrong... My mom has pointed out that my anti-depressants are messing with my memory... I just know they were 1976's, uncut, priced at $65
Here are sold listings on eBay for 1976 $2 uncut sheets. However, I should note that the going price is determined by several factors such as sheet size, federal reserve district, and if the sheet consists of only star notes. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1976+uncut+sheet&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&LH_Auction=1&LH_BIN=1&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=37129&_sargn=-1&saslc=1&_salic=1&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1&_fosrp=1
There were never sheets of three made but four, yes. I purchased several back then. You are looking at an impaired sheet. This makes it a bit pricey.
Is 2X3 a measurement, like 24” by 36” ? Currency sheets are referred to by how many notes are on the sheet. There are 4-subject, 8, 16 and 32 subject 1976 $2 sheets. How many notes are on the sheet, what district is it and is it regular or star notes.
Did they ever release a uncut sheet of 32 1976 Two dollar star notes? I have only seen the 16 sheet of Two dollar star notes.
The BEP did print and release 32-subject sheets. Here’s a sale from 2019 where a lot of six 32-subject sheets sold for $660.00 at Heritage.
When I sold some on ebay several months ago, the range for a sheet of (16) 1976 $2 notes that sold was around $100-$120. So $65 for a sub-sheet of six does not sound unreasonable to me, considering antique malls can have high overhead costs. But depends on that the sub-sheet is crisp, and how clean are the cuts after it left the BEP. Besides, 2x3 would be more manageable than a 2x8 if you want to frame it.
