xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 9:41 pm I don't usually collect currency but I was at a Thrift Shop earlier and couldn't resist these because I have wanted a Red Seal $2 bill since I started collecting, plus I thought this was a good deal. These 2 are both uncirculated and in protective slips. The Red Seal is a 1963, the other one is a 1935D. Tell me what you think. Report this Post to the Staff

hajduk Pillar of the Community Germany 645 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 10:02 pm Nice Bills! The 2 Dollar 1963 Note is one of the last Series of US Red Seals with the Monticello back. Only the 1963A Bill is younger.... Edited by hajduk 03/30/2013 10:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Woodford Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 01:15 am Zack, looks like the 63 $2 has a slight corner fold in the upper right and a few creases but otherwise Extra Fine+ to Almost un-circulated condition. The 1935D $1 S.C. looks to be in similar condition, although hard to tell from the camera glare. Might be a center fold there. Pretty solid notes if you ask me. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 04:59 am Nice notes. As for it being a good deal or not we need to know what you paid for them. Look here http://www.uscurrencyauctions.com/prices.htm John1 Report this Post to the Staff
xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 09:02 am Wow. Completely forgot to say that I paid $10 for the pair. And I thought I saw a slight crease but wasn't sure if it would affect much. Also, sorry about to glare, My camera isn't too great. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 10:29 am To avoid the glare take it out of the holder before taking the pic. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
babysitr Pillar of the Community United States 1339 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 4:46 pm You got a fair deal.....Look like good examples of both notes. The one dollar looks to be a better 1935D issue...M-G Report this Post to the Staff
jim61 Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 4:55 pm I think you did OK with these 2 notes. Any chance of posting the back of the SC note? Edited by jim61 03/31/2013 4:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 7:25 pm I will post the pic as soon as I get home. Report this Post to the Staff
jim61 Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 8:48 pm Thanks, just wanted to see if it was a W or N variety. Report this Post to the Staff
xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 9:02 pm How do you determine the difference between W and N varieties? And I hope this pic is good enough. Report this Post to the Staff
skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 9:50 pm Good deal, I like the $2 red seals too! Report this Post to the Staff
jim61 Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 08:53 am xZACKx thanks for posting the back. It is a N (narrow) variety. The MG block in W (wide) is very tough to find. The 1935D SC series changed from wide to narrow as can be determined by examining the backs of the notes. There are more than one way to tell. I use the comparison of the height under the words ONE DOLLAR and not the numerical 1. If you use the word method, than look at the height of the green area above and below of the words ONE DOLLAR - if equal, then wide; if narrower on the bottom, then narrow.
