2013 $2 double deuce set

Interesting the BEP should come up with this after skipping 2012. Nice that it has 2003a and 2009 series notes.

.....and the San Francisco district gets its turn at bat.

 

I noticed that too. I wonder if there will be other SF $2 collectibles upcoming. So far the only uncut sheets have been NY.

 

Looking at the image on the BEP website, the 2009 $2 in the set appears to be from the L..A block, which would make it part of the circulation printing (which went up to L38400000A). So it's not even a special collector-only printing.

Combine that with the fact that the J..D note in the set is from the same printing as the "2011" and "2012" J..D $2's, and I don't really see any reason to buy this set if you've already got one of those prior J..D issues. (Then again, I said the same about the "2013" I..D note in the Founding Fathers set, and that one sold out right quick, so obviously not everyone thinks like I do.)

I do like the packaging of the 2013 Double Deuce Set, based on the back design of the Series 1886 Hancock deuce. But I'm not paying $35 to get cool packaging.

 

Now that you mention that, I notice the 2009 $2 for the 150th Anniversary Currency Set is the same scenario with the notes pulled from circulation B..A block.

 

Well, I ordered a set...

 

Me "$2" :smile

It took a few times to get it through. Another quick sellout.....?

 

Could be... There always seems to be a first day rush, though

 

I bought one. Just to have one.

 

They sure sold out quick!!

 

other quick sellout. Had anyone received theirs yet?

 

I have not received mine yet.

 

BEP says on the website that they won't ship until the 28th.

 

I just received #20131040. I'm not sure I like that number

 

I got set 0432

At least that # doesn't remind me of a tax form!

 

I wonder why they chose to make the packaging so much larger that the last double deuce set

So 3 of us bought a set each. I think the other 4,997 sets were sold to dealers - there's already a bunch up on ebay, even a pre-sale at $80!?!!??

Why would anyone have done that, I wonder...
