RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 7:40 pm We need to know more on its condition. It looks like a very nice bill, but it's hard to tell. Is it floppy? (If you hold it sideways, does it flop over?) Is it crisp? (Hold it sideways and it hardly dips) I'm certainly no expert on paper money, but this is my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 7:50 pm Seems to be a strong VF bill with 4 folds, FR-750 (New York, Sailer/Strong sigs). Common, but still a battleship, so guessing maybe $600+ retail. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 04/14/2017 7:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 8:26 pm Welcome to CCF olddog One of a few notes still on my "bucket " list. It's remarkable that every denomination in this series, the money shot is the vignette on the back of the note. A very,very popular iconic large size deuce. Looks evenly circulated, but my guess by looking at the hard fold form the back tells me it spent a lot of its life folded up in someone's wallet. It typically lives in the neighborhood of $550-750 . I'm looking for an XF example with original paper, and a flawless back with great eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 8:45 pm This note has legs. The $2's have always fetched more than the $5's. Probably the best "money shot" reverse (as you say) in the history of US currency. Report this Post to the Staff
olddog44 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 04/15/2017 11:12 am Thanks for the feedback. I'm new to this. This is from a late family member's coin/currency collection that I am trying to determine value. I also have a 1918 $1 that I will do a new post on. Report this Post to the Staff
