1976 $2 Federal Reserve Notes

I finally put together a full district set of postmarked 1976 $2 Federal Reserve Notes!

Now that I'm looking at the set, I need to find an "A" with "13-Star Flag Over Independence Hall" stamp!

Nice set and congrats on putting it together

 

Impressive, I apreciate your post. The info on your site is good as well. Thanks

 

Very cool!! I have only one stamped one from a Citizen's Bank which has the 13 cent stamp, but is conveniently missing the date!!! :bigeyes:

 

I found it! My work is done (for this set) - I have all 12 Districts with the "13-Star Flag Over Independence Hall" stamp (Scott# 1622).

Now, I need to scan my set of postmarked Series 1976 $2 FRNs with all 50 State Flag stamps.

 

for the b.e.p. why not printing more $2.00 for circulation instead of $1.00 bill?. we already got the one dollar coin.

 

Yep, I wonder the same thing. The one dollar coin will never catch on until the up the production of the $2 note and eliminate the $1 bill......

 

get rid of the nasty ugly $1 coins! Keep the note. Why does everyone advocate eliminating the $1 note in favor of a silly token? Man are they ugly!

 

Spoken from a true paper collector!!! lol

 

Several months ago, I managed to build a full district set of 1976 $2 Federal Reserve Notes, postmarked on the First Day of Issue, April 13, 1976 -- Each of the 12 notes had the same stamp, the 13-star flag over Independence Hall stamp (Scott Number 1622):

After a lot of work, I've built another set. This one is another full district set and each note has the same stamp -- In this case, the Americana Issue - Eagle with Shield stamp (Scott number 1596):

Now, that's crazy!

Very nice set congragulations. I used to collect stamps & First Day of Issues ,this set hits home on two of my hobbies past and present .

 

What I want to know is, how'd the St. Louis note manage to get to Philadelphia in one day?

 

Very nice set. Wonderful to own Im sure.

 

good eye Numbers

While it may be crazy (your words) to complete the two sets... if you want to go truly insane .... get all the stamps on 1 side lol you know.. for equilibrium

 

That is a good question. I have two of them, but I also have one postmarked in Louisville, KY and Memphis, TN -- I also have these oddities:

• Four District A (Boston) postmarked in Harlan County, KY (three are sequential serial numbers, A09291676A-78A)
• District A (Boston) postmarked in New Cumberland, PA
• Two District D (Cleveland) postmarked in Crafton, PA
• District C (Philadelphia) postmarked in Washington, DC
• Eight District E (Richmond) postmarked in Galloway, WI (six are almost sequential serial numbers, E16104712A, 14A, 15A, 16A, 18A, and 19A)

 

Don't laugh -- There's no end to my insanity with 1976 $2 FDI FRNs. :goofer:

For the bicentennial, the USPS issued a "State Flag" series of stamps -- One stamp for each of the 50 states. I have one set of 1976 $2 FRN FDI with all 50 state flags, and I'm one note away from having my second set.

I'm also working on a few other sets. :whistle:

 

I did it again!

Wow! What a feeling of accomplishment!

I collected another full district set -- This time with the Liberty Bell stamp (Scott Number 1618):

That's a neat collection. :thumb:

 

I never thought about doing something like this, and I'm really impressed with the collection. Congrats. The only $2 1976 I have is a Philly note in at least Unc. The cool thing about it though is that it has the cancelled stamp on it and is a STAR note. Any ideas on what that one might be worth?
