two from circulation two for the collection

Interesting day ...

Picked up a few two's for my son at the bank and this was one of ones the teller gave me. The $5 came from my favorite teller. The one's from a dealer that knows what I like.

It's a shame the two wasn't still in uncirculated condition. Someone must have REALLY needed the money (was probably spent on a pack of cigarettes )...

That $2 didn't come from a pack, it came from an uncut sheet (which is now cut).

 

which just prooves his point that someone REALLY needed a pack of smoke or some other nasty habit lol

Cool notes! I love that radar!!

 

Hey Great NY note Darryl....

I see I am having some NY competition..LOL Great notes!!

That high SN gives that away.....

RickieB

 

wow!!
great stuff!

and yeah, someone was really desperate for money! lol

 

I thought you would like that one RickieB - Don't worry - there are plenty of NY notes to go around

gatzdon, Daggarjon, magman - Thanks - I did notice right away that it was cut from an uncut sheet. The top and bottom edges are really poor as well - it actually stopped me in my tracks when I looked down at it.

The two radars are pretty cool together - I am glad I got them both!

 

Awesome Radars!! They are always nice have have in your collection

Greg

 

Thanks Greg

 

I am going to ask a question that is obviously very obvious to rickie,daggar,gatzon..and the rest of ya..but how is it that you knew that was from an uncut sheet??..i guess i was under the impression that once a sheet was printed it was cut...i know im slow..but learning everyday..lol

 

the 998 is a give away. Most sheets have higher serial number.

 

Brian...

In most but not all cases's the uncut sheets have very high Sn's,,,such as the one Darryl has shown.
There are other tale tale signs such as an uneven cut or ragged edges if not cut with a very sharp source.
Numbers actually posted about this in a different thread not long ago.

There have been case 's where low numbers sheets have been saved by the BEP for sale at a Premium Pricepoint for collectors. I am sure others will have more to add to this as they come along...

Hope this helps some!

does this go along with all denomination?

 

well all the uncut sheets I have from the http://www.moneyfactory.gov/store/index.cfm/9 are high Sn's except for a sheet of $20 stars Series 2004 (still available from BEP)...so I would think so. I have a $50 sheet of 4 and they are high as well.
As mentioned.. in most cases, but not all!

Check out the link..

ok..heres another question maybe i should put this on another thread but why print more than what is planned on being cut or sold or do they cut what they need and sell the sheets to dealers and collectors

 

Well with my involvement in papermoney, I really do not get that deep into why they do things. Perhaps Numbers or Gatzdon, Daggarjon, Clembo, or others have an answer to that!

Wish I could help you on that one!

RickieB

 

thats ok...rickie...thanks for web sight i will be checking that out..

 

here is a very good site to browse! if you look through all the info that site has to ffer.. it will tell you everything you ever wanted to know .. and still have pages left to read lol

 

Nowadays, the highest serial number printed for circulation is 96000000 on $1's through $20's, 99200000 on $50's and $100's. The uncut sheets are given serials higher than these. The sheets are special printings just for collectors; they're not taken from the regular print runs.

The exception is star notes. When the BEP sells sheets of stars, they're generally leftovers from the circulation printings (because some stars are always left uncut when they're printed, and the BEP uses them to replace printing errors that are discovered before the cutting operation takes place). Therefore, uncut sheets of stars have ordinary serial numbers--sometimes very low numbers, and sometimes fairly random-looking numbers, but never the high 99xxxxxx numbers that are usually found on other uncut sheets.

 

Was going though my collection of twos yesterday and came across this note as well:

L99988623A 2003A

This one is crisp with no hard folds.

Cannot remember when I picked it up but that makes 2 from uncut sheets. Have to wonder how often that happens.

Will have a new digital on Monday - will take some pictures then
