Seeking help with the values of signed $1 and $2 dollar bills. Today I purchased a collection that included over $150 face value of bills all signed by the then Secretary of Treasury and in some cases also signed by the Treasurer as well. Some are Silver Cert. and others (most) FRN's. They date from the 30's to 2006.All are crisp and unc. The gentleman I purchased them from is a former Secret Service agent (now 95). He would routinely ask through mail to have their manuscript. He also had letters verifying the signature from the Treasurer. Some of the older ones include Barr-Fowler-Snyder-Dillion-Anderson. A few are star notes and some are fairly low serial # such a signed Shultz--E00002034 A In the $2 dollar series most are 1976 with both signatures along with a complete (all) 50 state stamps w/ postal stamp for the bi-cent. Any help with how to value or what (if any) reference to use is much appreciated. Steve
You can compare what you have with archived sales history from Heritage or eBay. Keep in mind that when you observe notes in graded holders with verification of "Courtesy Autograph", they will have at least the value of grading added to thier value. Star notes, and Silver Certificates are typically worth more, along with any notes with dual signatures. Got any photos, or plans for your newly acquired collection ? I would be interested in an autograph from Ivy Baker Priest if it is in your collection. I'll send a PM.
