1976 postmarked $2.00 bills - info needed
First of all I know nothing about collecting paper money thus this question.
We were just going through some of our files and found 50 crisp two dollar bills with consecutive serial numbers in an envelope. Each bill has a $.13 state stamp on the bill (each stamp is a different state) and they have been postmarked April 13, 1976. The postmark overlaps both the stamp and the bill. I vaguely remember that my then assistant, who was a coin/money collector, was going to go to a bank and have this done for her so I gave her a hundred bucks and said "do the same for me", which she did. Well, that was over 30 years ago and we just discovered that I still have them. I have done several searches on the Internet attempting to find a value and have come up with everything from $2.00 each to $35.00 each thus I suspect that the real value is somewhere in between. All in all, if any of you experts could give me a "ballpark" value for the set it would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year, Don |

The best that I can tell, they are all likely worth $2 each. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.

I'd chalk that up to $2 for each note plus $3.72 for finding a collector looking to scoop up a complete collection of the things by state stamps! Not a bad deal. Padraic Don |
