Nothing is true:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1953-2-US-N...id=641048279
Unbelievable what people will believe and pay for it.
A 1953 US gold certificate what a nonsense.
Maybe I should prefer to tone or bleach seals as to proper work.
He also has a 1963 Gold Seal.
Such people harm our hobby.

Wow those notes are being bid up for being nothing more than chemically altered and (Imo) worthless to a collector.

The wording in his description is rather tricky too. He's not marketing it as an error or an official FRN, only that the seal is yellow and that the note is "rare". I don't buy from ebay much, so to the more experienced people, is this a legitimate thing / method to try and sell on ebay?

I don't think it is a legitimate method for selling on ebay.

I am a seller and have I learned this; if you can not sell your product without lies and trickery, then your product is crap and you make yourself dirty.
I have learned merchant on a shipyard with Hanseatic tradition.
My old instructor said one day;
The young people laugh because I can not handle the Computer but I have built great, mighty ships.
The necessary contracts were closed with handshakes, without paper this was our tradition, over centuries.
You will not live to see this tradition with your computers, bankers and lawyers. So the old man said.
I'll never forget those words.
Trading is for me a question of trust, principle and honor.
To answer the question: No, it's not OK it is not tricky, that is only .
Sorry for my bad English, I hope you can understand my thoughts.
Such types are poison for our hobby.

Sometimes these are bid up by people who have no intention of buying them. Instead they do so to protect the unwary and compel the seller to open a case against them. This sometimes gets the seller on ebay's watch list.

I know this is an old thread but it popped up in some search results while I was researching a $2 bill with a yellow seal. I saw a yellow seal $2 bill mixed in with a bunch of red seal $2 bills and couldn't figure out why nobody was bidding on it. In my newbieness I thought it was a North African bill. Well after the heart rate went back down to normal and I started doing research, that got me to here....and the fact that there is no such animal as a yellow seal $2 bill. I am very grateful for all the information that can be found here.

For certain this is chemically altered - all such notes have red seals. These are not uncommon. Sellers often use the term "false error" to describe them, which in itself is a bit misleading I think.
