According to the U.S. Currency Auctions’ Pricing guide, depending on certain factors, a $2 bill — aka the “Tom” with its portrait of third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson — could be worth a lot more, even up to $5,000.
The U.S. Currency Auctions estimates in its guide that uncirculated $2 bills from before 1917 could fetch more than $1,000.
The guide notes that uncirculated bills from 1890, featuring a red seal, could be worth upwards of $4,000.
That’s not what this is about. This is about old uncirculated bills. There’s a lot of old money that is worth more than face value. Not sure why this is making news.
That’s what I’m saying. Any old bill will be worth good money. Just because it’s a $2 bill doesn’t mean it’s worth more, it has to be old and in good condition too.
Exactly. A mint condition $1 or $20 from 100 years ago could also be worth a lot, especially if it’s a lower serial #, etc.
Same goes for things like $1000 bills, which they stopped printing in 1969.
