FsdWarp10 Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 1:31 pm Hello all, I am a coin guy and know nothing about paper currency. A friend inherited a large quantity of items and wanted me to see if I could put a value on everything. I need help with this one item. 5 bill set sequentially numbered and uncirculated. Post marked july 4th 1976. 1st serial number is J10650009. See picture. I have no idea if these are worth face value or more. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update - went on ebay and looked at sold $2 bills like these (as close as possible) and determined them to be worth at least $10 per bill. Thanks Edited by FsdWarp10 09/20/2025 8:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pennywise142 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 09/21/2025 2:33 pm Quote: US Post Offices were opened that July 4th to celebrate the Bicentennial and to coincide with the First Day of issue of the "Spirit of 76" stamps so that collectors could get the "rare" postmark. Sorry, should have read just "4th to celebrate the Bicentennial and so that collectors could get the "rare" postmark" Gotta watch my "copy & paste" better. Report this Post to the Staff
Pennywise142 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 09/21/2025 2:38 pm A couple of months earlier the "new" 2 dollar bill was issued (April 13 I think?) Collectors put a stamp on it , took it to the post office for hand canceling and "certify"the bill as first day of issue. Gave some of us the idea for this. Ok, I went a little overboard.
