After retiring from the fire department I started a small online coin shop. As I’m sure most everyone here knows, if you buy a lot of coins from estates or auctions, you will undoubtedly slowly collect an assortment of currency if that’s your goal or not. I’ve finally reached a point where I’m going to bunch it all together and sell it off as one lot. There isn’t anything fancy, all just small notes, legal tender, silver certificates, red seals etc., nothing in mint state. But before I just throw the new green seal bills into my wallet to use to buy a pop at the gas station I thought I would see if I’m missing something to these. I do know why the 1963 Barr notes are “valuable” (using that term loosely since I know that doesn’t add a ton of value). But someone did put these away for a reason, any info on these 1976 and 1995 2 dollar federal reserve notes? The 95’s are consecutive numbers but I wouldn’t think that adds anything. They are uncirculated if that helps. Should I just spend these? Should I lump them in with the other bills and sell as 1 lot hoping to get a few cents over face for them? Or send them in to PCGS and try out their new currency grading?
The Barr note is in nice condition although the top margin is thick. $3. The 2 clean silver certificates $2 each the others $1.25. The $2 red notes about $3 each. The $5 bill red and blue seals are very worn/circulated. $7-$8 max. People will argue with me about the star notes, but everything else to me is face value. $59 total.
I don’t see anything worth having graded. I would use the SC aces as sales aids to young coin collectors that show interest, and group the $5$ and $2 LTs together as a six note package.
Perfect! That’s the exact kind of advice I was looking for. I was kidding about having them graded, that would be like sending in a worn 2011 nickel you picked up on the street. Honestly if I can sell them for enough money to pay the rip off eBay fees and commission plus my shipping cost I would be happy making 5 bucks total
If you have a grandson or granddaughter to pass them down to i a,m sure they would enjoy them But from the stand point of making any real profit not so much.
