Message:: [QUOTE="Numbers, post: 1583332, member: 11668"]I'll be interested to see what serial block is used for the $2.  Since the circulation printing of 2009 $2's for New York went up to B32000000A, the B2012... note in the set might be pulled from that printing--in which case, it isn't significantly different from what you can find in circulation for face value.  Now, if it's got a suffix letter other than A, then it's a low-printing block available only direct from the BEP, so it'll probably have a much better chance of commanding a premium in future. The BEP uses both methods sometimes.  For example, the Lucky Money 8.8.8 set from a few years ago contains a $1, $2, and $5 with matching serials; the $1 and $5 were pulled from circulation-issue print runs, but the $2 is a special printing (block H..E) that's only available in that set. If this 150th Anniversary set works like that, then I might consider buying it.  But if it's just two ordinary notes with ordinary circulation-issue serials, then it's worth $7.  Maybe $7.95 if you like the cardboard folder, but certainly not $49.95.[/QUOTE]
