WildYapok Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 7:26 pm My dad has an old $2 bill with the serial number 1111711 in his collection. Does anyone know - rough idea - what sort of value it might have? Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

WildYapok Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 7:43 pm Oh sad :( For some reason I thought the interesting serial number might give it some value. Oh well - can't win them all :) Thanks for the quick reply! Report this Post to the Staff

I'm sure yours would fetch more. ebay can be hit and miss depending on how bad someone would want that note. In my years of selling on ebay I've had it go both ways. I've sold bills/coins for 50X trends value and I have sold bills/coins and haven't even received one quarter of trends value. Quote: True, there are always uninformed buyers on ebay, but in reality that bill isn't worth much more than face value. I agree that some buyers are uninformed, but I also think that alot of has to due with supply and demand. All you need is just two collectors out there that would love to have this note as part of the collection who knows what it could go for if they got into a bidding war. Unfortunately the truth of the matter is that this bill in this condition is only worth face value but that doesn't mean you can't get a little more for. When I purchase something for my collection, trends prices don't mean anything to me. If there's lots of them out there I can pick it up for a good price. If there is only one and I want it, I will pay for it and I'm an informed buyer. I just don't not hold myself to a 'trends' price. Report this Post to the Staff
