bmachia New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/06/2013 07:53 am Please forgive this post if I put it in the wrong Forum. This is only my second post on CoinCommunity.com. I opened a small white envelop in an inherited box of coins and paper money and found 5 â€" 1976 Two Dollar Bills (crisp and in brand new condition). Each $2.00 has a 13 cent USPS stamp attached that appears to have been hand cancelled on April 13th, 1976 PM at a post office near my childhood home. What do I have here? Could anyone please provide a link that discusses this 1976 $2.00 configuration? Hoping not to offend anyone with this nubee question. Bill Report this Post to the Staff

hajduk Pillar of the Community Germany 645 Posts	Posted 08/06/2013 08:20 am Hi bmachia, These bills were issued in 1976 in memory of the 200 years independence. They replaced the United States Red Seal $2 with the Monticello back. It was the first series of the modern Size Bills, which again had Trumballs "Signing of the Declaration of Independence" on the reverse. I think one of them is round about $5-10 $ worth. I hope that helps... In Germany we have a saying: There are no stupid questions, there are only stupid answers. Sorry for my bad English.

BisonMatt Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 08/06/2013 09:12 am great information hajduk but I think these notes are $5 at tops. There is just so many out there with the first day of issue stamps, you need to have all 50 to get close to $10 a note. Report this Post to the Staff

bmachia New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/06/2013 09:32 am Than You very much folks! This is extermely helpful. When I get home this evening, I need to check for consecutive serial numbers. If all 5 have consecutive serials, how does that apply to value? Thx Bill Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/06/2013 1:27 pm Certain postal cancellations can add a bit of value, say one cancelled at Monticello or Independence Hall in Philadelphia. April 13, 1976 was the first day of issue for the then-new 1976 series $2s so that is why you will see that particular date. As for mine, it was cancelled at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, aka The Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Edited by biokemist6 08/06/2013 1:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DavidFNYC Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 08/06/2013 4:53 pm Considering I just sold 2 regular $1 bills with consecutive serial numbers starting with 6000 for $10 when I listed then as a lark at Bidstart I would think that 5 consecutive $2 bills with First Day of Issue stamps and cancellation would do pretty well.
