Went to a bank today and came across a huge stack of red seal $2... $350 worth of them! I went through them pulled all the uncirculated ones, star notes, 1928 ones, and one that had four 0000 as the first digits(not sure if worth anything). Now I ask you regular circulated red 2s worth anything? My LCS pays $2.50 for them is that good? Btw theyre all 53 and 63 with the exception of two 1928 Gs. Here are some pictures! Big dilemma what to do with the rest... sell for $2.50 each?

I think I need to bank where you do! I sell circulated $2 red seals online for $4 a piece with no problem, but if you feel like flipping them for a quick buck, I'd just sell them to your LCS. They'll probably put something like $4 on them.

Yea I could sell them on ebay but I'm not really into shipping + fees.. I mean I could make a little more than my LCS but the convenience factor of my LCS is better I think.. But what do you think of the star notes and 1928s value? Also what abou the 0000 serial number?

The 0000 serial number isn't really low enough for any extra premium, the stars will definitely be worth a little more, especially the middle one in your second photo. The tears on the 1928G bills hurt, but you could possibly get $5 each or so for those. The yellow seal notes are considered damaged and you will occasionally see folks passing them off as errors on ebay.

I would do the same. You paid face, so anything over that you're coming out ahead.

Sure is! That is my 1923 $5 'Porthole' Silver Certificate. You can check out the rest here as well as other CCF member's collections here: https://goccf.com/t/216568

would you take the 2.50 if your LCS is right next to you? Btw I coin roll hunt and thats how I get these occasionally! Definitely cant have too much money tied up in these. SO keep the 1928, star notes, and the best of each series? I'm still really new to paper currency and like to make sure I keep the right ones hahah

The four zeros does have a premium as well as the star notes. Put the crisp ones in holders. Sell any with any kind of damage to your LCS. http://www.uscurrencyauctions.com/$2notes.htm

By damage do you mean rips? Or folds as well?

$2.50 each? To that I say "Ha!"
Walk away. $4 a pop all day long. If you don't wanna do any leg-work I (personally) wouldn't accept less than $3 for the bottom barrel examples. Just me.

Actually just sold 77 average condition ones for $4.50 at my LCS!! Made $200 but he offered me only 2.25 for the ripped ones should I take that? Btw I pulled all the perfect uncirculated ones, I found 3 sequential uncirculated 1963s worth any premium?

Not much if any,IMHO. Check ebay sold values for an idea.
