uncommoncents Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/30/2008 7:17 pm Are the red seal two dollar notes worth much more than face value? I was at the bank this afternoon and a teller gave me 31 of them. I don't collect notes. What should I be looking for? Report this Post to the Staff
ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 08/31/2008 08:54 am Red, blue, yellow, and brown seals are keepers. After you have them, then determine the relative value. Weed out the torn and holed ones of common series. Then ebay or keep what is left. Even if you find the value is very little over face, you can throw them on ebay and squeeze every bit out of it. That's my opinion. I wish I could find this stuff in circulation as much as I did just a few short years ago. When they switched to the big heads, the older stuff stood out like a sore thumb and either got hoarded or shredded. End of an era. Report this Post to the Staff
ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 08/31/2008 08:58 am I'd like to add: Red seals on ones are excellent. Yellow and brown seals require extra scrutiny. They are often WW2 notes when in small denominations, and gold notes in larger bills. Both worth a nice premium. Also, don't overlook green seal small heads. They can be valuable too. It's just that in passing, without paying much attention, the other colored seals can be spotted a mile away. So they are easy. Report this Post to the Staff
uncommoncents Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/31/2008 12:06 pm I have quite a few of the older green sealed notes. Most are from the 30s. Actually got three 1930s twenty dollar bills from the ATM. Report this Post to the Staff

uncommoncents Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/31/2008 3:14 pm I need to figure out how to post the pictures. Will a regular digital camera work? Report this Post to the Staff
