Nice notes. I find the Palo Alto, Calif, cancellation on a Tennessee state stamp a bit odd. Also the L prefix on the $2 note indicates it was made in December of 1975.

Little confused lol. Very new to obtaining notes. My banks around me have alot of coins I have searched so I'm learning new.

 

There are probably 49 others in sequence for the other states from the first day of issue of the 1976 $2.00 note on April 13, 1976.

 

I got these from my Father in-law many years ago. No stamp, just the cancellation.

 

$2 bills are pretty cool, however theres not much premium over spot if any
my late fathering law had an envelope taped underneath a dress drawer
that we discovered after his death almost a thousand dollars in $2 bills.

 

I guess I'm confused but I thought the "L" prefix indicated the San Francisco Federal Reserve District.
Each of the 12 Federal Reserve District regional banks is designated by the following letters and numbers:

City Letter Number
Boston A 1
New York B 2
Philadelphia C 3
Cleveland D 4
Richmond E 5
Atlanta F 6
City Letter Number
Chicago G 7
St. Louis H 8
Minneapolis I 9
Kansas City J 10
Dallas K 11
San Francisco L 12

 

You did good at that price. Putting a stamp and having the bill cancelled was a big deal at the time. It was the Bicentennial year so a great souvenir.

 

You are correct that the "L" denotes San Francisco, Calf.
It also is the identifier for when they where made.
