Not likely , Rob. Look at the condition : all the wrinkles, the creases, the dirt, the corners. That bill has been around and if that bill could talk it would have quite a story to tell, but it wouldn't be about money. What does the other side look like? Just for fun you could put it on eBay. Those guy's'l buy anything. One of our currency experts would need to see both sides before he could give you an opinion of value. The good news is......It's worth 2 dollars anywhere in America.
What does "Both these for $5 each." mean? Auto correct got cha? It gets me all the time. Hey Steve, I'll give you $3 apiece for all 6.
To summarize Cool find. I would keep it if I got it in change There isn't much of a premium over face value, especially if it's not in nice crisp condition It's very, very difficult to find something in circulation that will make you rich. Knowledge and experience will help, but those take time and there aren't any short cuts Hope this helps
Perhaps the obverse is "missing"; or overprinted; or partial shifting; etc. Would certainly need image of the obverse to make a semi-intelligent guess/opinion.
The condition of your note brings the value down to almost face. Folded, heavily worn, frayed edges and stains are the biggest problems. These bills are common at $5.00 each retail. At that price I can get a much less circulated and cleaner bill. The only thing that would make this more valuable would be a fantastic serial number. Welcome to CT.
Ok Hookman thanks for the advice, Here's another question about the transitional year of the $2 bill, I found two in a frame and I heard those might be worth something other than 2$ lol
Hi Rob, You're welcome to the advice. It's always free here on Coin Talk !! To be honest Rob, I'm not your best source for info on currency, especially concerning transitional years. Others know much more than I do. As for value Rob, and as others have said, because of condition, the value will be right at Face ( $2.00 ). Don't try them at a dealer because a dealer has to resell to make any money, and a dealer could not resell those bills. Your best bet for an increase in value is to try eBay, 'cause those guy's'l buy anything, but don't forget about the fees. You'd prolly break even or even lose a little. Really, you should just keep them in your own collection. They are red seal bills, which are desirable, they just aren't desirable in that condition. Pull them out with your friends and talk about them. We call that Show and Tell. I bet not many of your friends know as much about those bills as you now do. Remember, collecting coins and currency isn't about getting rich quick, because that will most likely never happen, it's about the thrill of the hunt and the discovery and learning process. Remember also, that if you continue to learn and search, sooner or later, you will find something really cool. Thanks for posting Rob, and remember, you're always Welcome here on Coin Talk !!
