[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3622644, member: 99642"]Well, Aquaman, you're taking me into the deep end of the pool here with this question, but I'm gonna try to dog paddle my way to what I believe might help. You've already found out something good, in that the postmark cancellation is for the first day of release. Given that these 1976 series $2 bills don't have much value (imho) over face anyway, the stamp and cancellation can only ADD value to this note, which is exactly what it was meant to do. It appears to be in very good condition, no tears, no stains, no creases, no folds, no pinho.......What is that in the upper left corner of the reverse? Is that pinholes, say, from a staple? If so, that sinks the bill somewhat, maybe even puts it underwater in terms of the added value from the cancellation. Let's call on some real currency experts : [USER=91609]@PlanoSteve[/USER] [USER=27107]@SteveInTampa[/USER] [USER=26550]@mpcusa[/USER] Regardless, it's worth keeping, especially since it came from a family member. [I][B]That[/B][/I] always adds value.[/QUOTE]
