2014 $2 Triple Deuce Set Sold out in a few hours.

Hi don't know to much about BEP notes. I bought 2 sets yesterday and was shocked they sold out in a few hours.

WHY?

2014 $2 Triple Deuce Set

I imagine they sold out because of all the $2 collectors out there and a limited edition of only 3,000 sets......that, and the lack of anything collectible coming out of the BEP recently.

 

Series 2003-A and Series 2009 notes. Would be that much more interesting if they were Series 2014 notes made only for these sets.

 

I just checked it says OUT OF STOCK Hmmm maybe some more will be available
just wishful thinking

 

I bought these for two reasons, the huge 2014 on the reverse. The other reason only limited to 3,000.

I hope to little nuggets my dog leaves when his tummy is hurting, they don't have another $2 note in 2014 with 2014 on the reverse. Again I think it is cool.

One more thing. As I got burned before leaving these $2 notes in the Plastic Mylar and they turn to wrinkled mess. Do you think getting these notes graded will be worth it? Not much of a US Collector.

 

Are you sure that 2014 is on the reverse and is not just part of the advertising material? Quite surprised they'd go to that much trouble to create a custom reverse printing for so few notes...

 

The BEP's sellouts, or lack thereof, seem to be very unpredictable. They've been doing these "year" $2's since 2008, and some of them have sold out instantly while others have stayed on sale for months/years (you can *still* buy the 2009 and 2010 issues!). The limit of 3000 sets here probably helped, but some past products with limits of 2000 didn't sell out this fast, so....

 

Will never happen--it's way too expensive to make a new master printing plate just to produce a few thousand notes.

The Series 2003A note in the set is at least the J..D block, available only in these "year" sets. But the same block was used in 2011, 2012, and 2013, so if you've already got one of those, then yeah, there's nothing new in this set.

The Series 2009 notes in the set are B..A and L..A blocks, pulled from the circulation printings, so not very interesting at all.

 

They don't have "2014" on the back. They've got perfectly normal $2 bill back designs. The folder they come in shows the border of an old Monticello $2 back, with "2014" where Monticello would go. They seem to like to use old $2 designs on the folders; the mirrored "2" designs on the inside of the folder come from the back of the 1896 $2 silver certificate!

 

Actually, good guess--the "Out Of Stock" message is gone and the set appears to be available again. Wonder what that was about?

 

Thanks very much for being who you guys are.
The 2014 is "Not" part of the reverse. Monticello is standard on the reverse.

What is very disappointing when I called, I was told it had the nice and 1st type print on the reverse, meaning the 2014 numbers in Gold. So, I called today after I got this update from you guys and was told they were sorry for telling the wrong information. As well as many other customers. Yes, they were sold out. Now after multiple cancelled orders because of this error of the so called printed 2014 reverse symbol, they are now available again.

I was told that some of their employees have multiple disabilities with speech, reading and comparing what they see online to their notes. I am not happy at all.

Boy, the U.S. Mint and now the BEP is getting to be a sad place to buy collectables. Thanks again collectors. $54.95 is way too steep for three $2 notes with silly 2014 serial number series. JMHO.

 

I missed out on the days when they sold star notes and things like that

 

The message has changed again, back to "Out of Stock", so I called the toll free number and was told that they are 100% completely SOLD OUT.

 

That and some of the high quality premium sets.

De La Rue and Joh Enschede and Orell Fuslii do it all the time. How do you think we get those test notes ie:

 

Never really got the point of these things. The BEP disappoints me that they just keep recycling the same gimmicks to come up with new packages to put notes in, and not do something different with the notes themselves.

I don't know if these sold out so quickly because that many people actually wanted them for themselves, or hoped to sell them at a profit. I suspect the latter.

I consider myself a die-hard $2 bill collector and I don't own a single thing the BEP made that I couldn't get elsewhere, not counting a single uncut sheet I bought once. (I prefer just the plain, naked, not in any special folder or card, note, all by itself.) Am I just in the minority lol? I seriously don't get the attraction of these things. If I've learned anything at all from collecting it's that something doesn't become a "collector's item" just because the person who makes it says it is. But people still go crazy for these things. I'm not sure if I'm the sane one or the crazy one lol...

P.S. I also don't care about so-called "fancy serial numbers" at all. I swear that makes me feel like a heretic among other currency collectors lol...

 

I can dig all the same number & super low numbers, but binaries, trinaries, repeaters, ladders, "birthday" serials, etc. are just a way to pad the strap searchers pockets, especially when you have people putting them away on $100 bills! They're a good 'flip' for a fast buck, but the collection wont even keep pace with inflation over time.

 

I collect the BEP stuff because I think it is neat in its own way. I only by one for me and do not really consider it a financial investment to make a profit on.

I have to agree with others that the fancy number are not very interesting, at least not to me. That said, I can certainly see why some one would collect notes with their child's birthday or certain sequences of numbers that are special to them.

People collect for whatever reason.

Same here, I buy some of those sets just because I like them. Trouble is, when we buy this stuff directly from the BEP, we're competing with the ones who want to buy a bunch and make a profit from them - which they have every right to do - but it does make them sell out a lot quicker, and slows the servers down when ordering. There are some triple deuces being offered on ebay for 3 times the issue price. That doesn't mean anybody's going to pay that much though. I saw a bunch of founding fathers sets on ebay too, for not much more than the issue price, so where are the big profits, anyway?

 

Wonder why BEP doesn't use tracking numbers. You never know when they send there items. It has a spot for them, But i have never seen a tracking number.
