I did a notary job and was paid in a whole bunch of red seal $2 bills. Some have a star in front of the serial numbers. All different conditions. I did some research and see that they can be worth $2-$60 each. Anybody here know old currency and that could possibly make a fair offer?

 

-Thanks!

ill give you face value is that fair?

Are they silver certificates?  I'd say look at the series date, then check on collector websites or ebay completed auctions for the values.  I was never as big on paper money, as when I did coin collecting, I was a kid and could only really afford mostly...um...coins...(though I do have 3c, 5c, 10c, 25c, and 50c bills)  There are books for coin values, I'm sure that there are books and online guides now to get a fair idea of values.

Red seal bills are not silver certificates.  Silver certificate bills have a silver seal, red seal bills have a red seal.  From what I understand, they are uncommon like silver certificates are, but do not have as much of an increase in value.

I usually google what my coins are for value, you might be able to do the same thing with your bills.

I have a few old $2 bills. Some are red some aren't. Been told they are worth about $2 so I'm just holding on to them.

They're worth about $2 unless they are pristine condition or oddballs like star notes. Awhile back I got $40 worth at the bank of 1953s IIRC.

Pm me with photos. I used to be a us small size currency dealer the star notes will be the ones of interest but dont disregard the rest

Yes, a few of them have the star before the serial number. Even if I get $2.01 for some of them, I will be happy. I was short changed on the notary job...he claimed he had no more money even after the attorney and I agreed on a fee.

If you have sequential serial numbered star notes they are worth more as a set.  Thats about all I know.  The three in a row that I had got my $60.  They where all 1953 series if I remember correctly

I'll buy them from you if you want to sell. I'll save them for my kid.

 

Or trade for ammo.
