Here are a couple of Red Seal $2.00 I grabbed today while at my local bullion shop. I paid twice face for each of them. The first, a crisp uncirculated Series 1963. The second was a Series 1963A Star Note, not nearly as nice as the 1963, but it's my first older star. I figured for $4.00 what the hey.
The "star" is how the Bureau of Engraving and Printing prints them. They are only used to replace a defective note.
jtlee321, very, very nice pickups. For $4 each, why not? Good show and enjoy. If they any more in such condition for $4 you might consider them, but be selective.
@techwriter I was pretty selective. Those were the only two I was willing to pay twice face for. The Unc was a no brainer to me.
