I have a bunch of different sets of consecutive numbered 2003A $2 bills. I am not greatly experienced at finding out if any of the print runs would be worth keeping or just put them back in circulation. The lowest numbers I have areE00383052 and E00475702. All the rest are higher. Looking at the serial number website it appears that unless they were bookends or very low numbers or some other combo that would be cool they are just worth $2. I also have one stack of five 2003 series with consecutive numbers but high numbers. Any input appreciated cause if I should just put them back in circulation, it gets them out of my safe and into the wallet to spend.
IMO, if they are crisp and uncirculated, they'd perform quite well on eBay. eBay is where even one leading zero is considered a low serial number and they do well. Lots with consecutive serials do well there, too. http://www.uspapermoney.info/groups/ is a good resource for run quantities.
Hmm, maybe I'll put them on Ebay and see what happens. I am keeping all the ones before 2003. Thanks.
With the $0.30 listing fee for Buy it Now, a 10% final value fee, plus 3% PayPal fee, and shipping costs, you are probably going to lose money trying to sell them on eBay. Unless they are star notes or special serial numbers (radar, repeater, ladder, solid) they are only worth face value. I can still find uncirculated consecutive straps of 2003A $2s at some banks. Otherwise unremarkable stars can get you $3 each in uncirculated condition. And fancy serials can bring substantially more depending on the exact number combinations. If your 2003 notes are from a district other than Minneapolis (I district), they are worth a bit more. Those other districts were collector issues and never made it into circulation. The same goes for 1995. Only Atlanta (F) made it into circulation.
