Just wondering if anyone knew what the bid/ask prices for the Premium Millenium Fed. Reserve set of 12 $2 star notes is at this time. Going to see if I can find a set at the show tomorrow and thinking the $500 pricetag in the Catalog is high. Not sure how much too high though. Thanks
Can't find it on ebay. They only show the regular set with 16k run insted of the premium with 9999 run.
Thanks, I'll check into that. I'm not sure if its 2000 series. I assume so, but you know what that get ya. Not in the Redbook and listed between 95 series and 03-FW series in the Standard Catalog. No Fr. #'s only KL? #4234*
Just got out my league really quick http://www.usrarecurrency.com/$2PremiumMillenniumFederalReserveSets.htm . It's the 95 set. Listed at $1095. Gonna have to see how my tax refund is going.
Usrare currency. Now I'm thinking about a lg size in the $1000 range. What do you think 1875, 1880, 1899 in high AU low CU or the Prem. Millenium set? Decisions, decisions.
Well the Large size notes are always a better way to go..or at least that is my line of thinking. When it comes to Large Size, I tend to save up and buy a minimum grade of 63...the cost goes up quickly the better the grade as you well know. The 1880 Legal Tender Notes are pretty special and I have an esye on a few more this year...my small size collection suffers when I drop big bucks on a Large Size..but tahts the way the story goes...LOL Pay real close attention to detail when getting into Large Size Noost...it is a whole different level so to speak from the small size notes. Jump in, get your feet wet, but always buy the best you can!! Regards, RickieB
How so? Please be as detailed as possible if you have the time. Pretty much looking for graded notes and don't want any folds. High AU is probably gonna be how I will have to do large size paper. I think maybe some more research is in order first. Thanks
good research is always recommended! it leaves less of a chance of getting burned. I would go small size too if its a choce between modern or older large size. In general, they have a better chance of gaining in value. There are of course small size notes that are just as hard to get in top grades, and those are good to go after, but as a rule, i prefer to get a large size note (when my budget allows lol) If your thinking in the $1000 range... whats wrong with that $2 set for $1095. If its the extra $100 that kills the deal, then contact the usrarecurrency folks and offer them an even $1000. i doubt that set will ever go down in large jumps prisewise! so it shoudl be a safe buy if your worried about losing value. Or if the folks on the site wont budge, wait a bit. For the hard to find items like this set and many other items, you sometimes have to sit back, hold on to that cash, and wait for the item to become available again.... and they always do! Good luck on your hunt!
Thanks Daggerjon. I thought it was high at $500, so it's not the xtra $100. Now though, $500 doesn't seem so bad. LOL - My next purchase is going to be another book.
I missed the opportunity to buy a matched set of the $2* Millennium notes when the BEP offered them for sale. It took about 18 months and around $600 to assemble all 12 districts, but without matching serial numbers. This was about 4 years ago. I imagine the cost for a complete matched set would be around what you're seeing it offered for. The BEP printed 9,999 sets. So as far as modern paper notes are concerned that's a miniscule printing. With a decent upside for appreciation in value. However, as others have wisely said, if you have patience you may find one for a more reasonable price given the current economic conditions. Good Luck!
