    I have a 50 state stamp set of the 1976 2 dollar bills in near mint condition. The 13c stamps are in the bottom left of the back of the bill along with a red ink stamp that says april 13 1976 tampa FL Main office. I have one 2 dollar bill with each 13 cent state stamp for a total of fifty different bills with fifty different stamps. The serial numbers are F20101511-F20101560 They are not completely sequential there are some repeats. And they have the f* mint mark which I believe is Atlanta? Any idea what a full set like this would be worth?
    Thanks for any help in advance

    Had no luck on ebay finding dollars specifically like the ones I have, but the similar ones were priced between 6-20 dollars apiece.

    I am sure they are the state flag series of 1976 ( Scott #1633- 1682) all 50 state flag stamps were printed on one sheet of stamps ( value is given as 18.75 for all 50 stamps used), but realistically that is what the retail dealer would sell them for, and their buying price would be $5-10 if at all, as they were saved by stamp collectors in whole sheets.

    Whoever made your $2/stamp combos took a shortcut, as the higher collector value was a set that were postmarked in each state of the flag. Several of the large stamp companies had someone in each state cooperate in making the sets which sold I believe for $249 for set of 50 $2 bicentennial bill , stamp postmarked in each state and a leatherette album. At a stamp show they go for $125 - $150.
