@argonautweakend d will probably be the only one interested

a sheet of 16 1976 $2 star notes

why isn't it tagging him

@argonautweakend

okay whatever gamefaqs

It looks like you tagged him properly on my end. I think you're good.

I got two mentions!

Uncut sheets are neat. Somebody gave me a 4 note uncut sheet of 1976 twos once in a frame.

Now those serial numbers are recorded as being in a sheet. So if you cut this up to make it appear like an error people will know its cut from a sheet because of the serial numbers. Most modern sheets they reserve the top end of serial numbers. I have found two bills cut out of a sheet(just cut not altered to suggest an error) before. A five and a one. Both begin with 999 which is a good tip off its from a sheet. Some reference out there probably has the exact serial number ranges for the sheets of 1976 twos.

The signature on the left, Francine Neff is one of my favorites. Contrast with William Simon on the right which may be my least favorite of all time aside from Steven Mnuchin(only man or woman to not do a full cursive signature. It looks like an MS word font nobody uses).

But yeah neat

I got into an argument once with one of my co-workers who was refusing to take a $2 bill from a customer because she thought it was fake.

The manager on duty was tied up helping someone else, so I ended up just giving the dude two 1s from my wallet and taking the 2 for myself.

yeah, i noticed the last four of the serial is 7267 on all of them

and i remember your topic about the signatures

i don't get why they're skip a number though.

so, on the left side, all of the numbers are the same by a difference of two

so one is 00837267 and the one below it is 857267, but the one on the right of it is is 00917267, with the one below that being 00937267

where's 0084 and 0092?

I don't know the specifics but the sheets arent consecutive notes but are in such a way when the full sheet is cut during production they slot into consecutive order.

Holy sheet

cut your nails bro

What I failed to notice earlier is that those are star notes, which are always awesome. That doesn't really increase the value any because they made so many 1976 twos(more than any year to date, of which we have 1976, 1995, 2003, 2003a, 2009, 2013 and 2017A). I do not know if the sheets all came in star notes or if it was random or what, but I suspect even so this is common.

BUT we can take it a step further and see how rare these star notes are, by going here:

https://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/2#1976

So for notes issued to FED bank A(Boston), we have a total of 1.2 million star notes issued. None of these are going to be rare necessarily, even the runs of 640K. Some star notes come in runs of 100K or less, but none here(looking at you 1999 ten dollar notes!!!!).

Looking into it further I see several images of these sheets with star notes, but cool none the less.

So, uhh, what the heck is a star note, anyways?

The star symbol at the end of both serial numbers indicates this is a replacement note for one damaged in production. They don't reprint individual notes on the spot or anything, nor is this an exact replica(sans star) of a note to have been created. They just wait until a run is over and then print these hundreds of thousands or millions of these to replace what was lost.

I collect every star note I see. I have several hundred at this point, including a brand new FED strap of one dollar star notes that are sequential. I have paid exactly face value for every single one.
