I used too, well sill do, collect pennies (yeah I know). I've amassed a bunch of other coins as well.

Define old though. Are we talking pre 19th century or early 20th century old?

Throw up a pic why dontcha.

well, early 1950's old. It's a '53 2 dollar bill, whats different about it is it is a star-note, I've not seen one in person until this one.

interesting info but it pertains to 95 and newer or "in circulation" types, this is too old to be in common circulation

I recently found a 1950's - I think Series 1952 silver certificate in some change I got at a store - it is amazing what you can get sometimes...

Why not check out Ebay's completed items and see what they've been selling for?

Tell me about, I have been selling a gallon of my sperm to the sperm bank weekly. I wish they would change the magazines every once in a while.

I found my old currency book from 2001. It's far from accurate, but you may be in luck.

Star notes are valuable since they mean they were replacements during the printing process to avoid serial number duplication.

I recommend you get something to carry that in and avoid folding it or handling it with your hands from this point on. Take the note to a local jewelry store that also specializes in currency collecting. Big chain stores don't do this, so look in the yellow pages or google search local "coin collectors".

However, don't be disappointed if you get a low value because it was circulated. Circulated currency unfortunately loses significant value because it was well circulated.


Edit: I just found this, and I'm really sorry. The note you have my be worth very little.

Still though take it to a jeweler for an opinion.

10-20 bucks is still better then what i got now. It's currently in a book and I doubt it was circulated, but we'll see. i'll take it to a place and see what they say
