  • A gem new "67" (not a star note) graded by a major TPG can be easily found for $50 or so. Lesser grades are abundant. A new note that is not in a major TPG holder sells for under $10 - but be aware many/most notes sold as new that are not holdered by a major TPG are not new.

    Star notes sell for a little more and a true "67" is somewhat scarce but definitely not rare.

    Series 1953 $2 red seal star notes are valued at $60 in CU according to the 5th Ed. O&S book. You can also search CAA's auction archives and online dealers to get a realistic idea of value.

    As for onlybuffalo's response..."A gem new "67" (not a star note) graded by a major TPG can be easily found for $50 or so. Lesser grades are abundant. A new note that is not in a major TPG holder sells for under $10 - but be aware many/most notes sold as new that are not holdered by a major TPG are not new.

    Don't believe everything you read, as TPGs are not as accepted in the currency world as they are in the world of coins. Small size $2s in the higher New grades can easily be found raw, and the absence of a TPG holder means little. A majority of small size notes, even in Gem New, are so inexpensive having them slabbed is a waste of money...unless you plan on fleecing some newbie on ebay.

    Oh, and come on over to the currency forum!
