Do they have a premium?

All I know is that is in pretty good condition at a glance and is a red star note.

What would make it a stand out to purchase?

I have an opportunity to buy one but, I really don't know anything about them.

My Son likes Bill's and I was thinking about getting it for him if I can figure out if it's worth it.

Without having to ask him and spoil the surprise that is.

Thanks All!

I am not up-to-date on what a $2 red seal would cost.

What series is it? That makes a huge difference in value for red seal $2's. Series 1928-1928C stars list at $100+ in VG. The 1928A star lists at $600 alone. The 1953 and 1963 $2 prices are a bit more tame compared to 1928 and I've purchased circulated star notes from those two series at $4 each from my LCS. Uncirculated notes will cost more, but will still cost less than $100.

If you happen to have a photo of it I could be more precise on its value.

It totally depends on year,series and condition. We need more info...Is it raw or graded? As far as US Notes go, 1963 is generally least valuable, then 1953,and 1928 the most valuable. Stars being the most valuable,and again series matters.

I always keep any star notes I get. Most don't have a big premium, but I've sold a few new $100, 50 and 20's on ebay barely getting more than the fees, postage end up costing over face value. Anything in values below $20 I keep for myself, those higher denominations I'd rather turn into cash to buy books and coins with.

I know $2 later series aren't worth anything,, yet I still stick them in a box anyways, I get them at the aluminum can recycler each month, just got one yesterday in fact. None have been star notes (yet) from them. I do have a few star $2 series 1953 crispy too, but don't think they would bring any real premium as so many are out there.
