Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 04:28 am Looking over some of my late Grandma's items, found some crisp 1976 $2 Bills. She got them stamped and dates and wrote "first day of issue" on the envelope. What are the things to look for in determining if these have any added value today? Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe the Post Office I have lots of them from many different states with many different stamps, some have stamps of state flags. Report this Post to the Staff

The best one I have was postmarked at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, aka the Gateway Arch, which was established to commemorate Jefferson's crowning achievement of the Louisiana Purchase.

I dont think they are worth much, but a few on ebay are 2-3 times higher than others, could be the specific stamp I suppose. @John1: Its an estate, so I have to put a value on it, if it was just me I would keep them of course.
