$2 1976 Federal Reserve Star Note.
What are Star Note?
Replacement bills indicated by a star symbol at the end of the serial number instead of a letter. Printed to replace defective notes during production, they typically represent less than 1% of notes produced. Their relative scarcity compared to regular notes drives their premium value, especially for star notes from smaller print runs or those with fancy serial numbers, which can command significant collector premiums.

I have a 1976 2 dollar bill serial number f17765537a
with the stamp and a April 13,1976 post mark . Do you know an approximate value?
Hi Jim — yes, that sounds like one of the 1976 first-day-issue $2 bills with the April 13, 1976 stamp and postmark. Those are collectible, and a typical example like that usually sells for a modest premium rather than huge money — roughly in the $10 to $20 range, depending on condition and the postmark location. Your serial number isn’t one of the big premium fancy-number patterns, so the value is really more about the first-day stamp/postmark and how nice the note is overall. If you’d like, post a clear photo of the front and back and I can narrow it down a bit more.
Hi,
I have a sheet of 4, 1976 star note 2-dollar bills B01698105
B01718105
B01738105
B01758105
Appreciate any comment on value. In a “Collector Edition” green Binder with a gold eagle seal given to me as a gift
Thanks lm
If it’s an original uncut sheet of four 1976 $2 star notes in nice crisp condition, it’s usually worth more as a collectible than just the $8 face value. The fact that it’s still in the collector binder helps presentation, but the main thing is whether the sheet is still clean, flat, and undamaged.
The matching 8105 ending is neat, though the bigger premium usually comes from it being a star note sheet. A clear photo of the full sheet would help narrow it down quite a bit.
I have a 1976 $2 bill E46622295A that has a wide border on the left end and barely any border on the right end. Does this make it more valuable by any chance. It appears to be crisp and in very good condition.
Your thoughts?
If it’s just a little off-center, it usually doesn’t add much value. But if the left border is truly very wide and the right border is almost gone, that can be a genuine misalignment or cutting error. The big thing is whether the design is actually affected, not just the margins looking a little uneven. If it’s a stronger error and it really is crisp, I’d roughly think in the $10 to $40 range, and sometimes more if it’s dramatic. If you can post a clear photo of both sides, I can give you a much better opinion.
Serial # is F39988888 A sorry! 2 $ bill
Hi Linda — thanks for the correction. A normal U.S. bill serial has 8 digits, so F39988888A (digits 39988888) makes sense.
Your note is a common 1976 $2 bill, but the serial is the interesting part: it has five 8s in a row (“…88888”), which some collectors do pay extra for. Since you mentioned it’s well worn, the premium is usually modest — most of the time you’re looking at roughly $5–$20 depending on how heavy the wear is and how nice it looks overall. If it were crisp/uncirculated, it could bring more.
Those big “record” prices you see online are for rare errors, star notes, very low serials, or exceptional condition/sets — not typical circulated notes.
Thank you Linda
I have a 1976 two dollar bill serial number is F399888888. What is it worth thank you.
Hello– I have 3 uncirculated 1976 $2 Bill’s, still in the bank envelope. Two are numbered sequentially. All are the K series. No stars or misalignments. Would you give me an idea of their worth? Thank you.
Hi Karen — thanks for the details. If they’re truly uncirculated and still in the original bank envelope, that’s a nice set.
For 1976 $2 bills with no star, no errors, and ordinary serials, the value is usually a small premium over face value:
A couple tips:
Grading usually isn’t worth it for regular 1976 $2s unless they’re exceptionally high-grade (Gem) or have something extra (star note, error, very low serial, etc.).
Sorry I forgot to provide the year of the consecutive runs are from 2003
Hi Mark — thanks for the details (and the serial ranges).
1) Your 1976 $2 star note (D00230450*)
A 1976 $2 is a very common series, but the star does add collector interest. Since you mentioned it’s crisp but has one fold, that usually puts it in the About Uncirculated (AU) neighborhood rather than true “uncirculated.” In that kind of condition, most 1976 $2 star notes tend to land around $5–$20, with the higher end usually needing either near-perfect paper or a scarcer star run.
(If you can, share a clear front/back photo — folds, corner sharpness, and any handling marks matter a lot.)
2) Your 2003 consecutive runs (all L district)
For regular 2003 $2 bills (non-star, no fancy serial), the value is usually just a small premium over face in uncirculated condition — commonly around $3 each at retail, and closer to face value if selling quickly.
Consecutive serial numbers are nice for display, but small partial runs (like 4 notes, 7 notes, 6 notes) usually bring only a modest bump unless they’re still in a full BEP strap/brick or have something “special” (star notes, fancy serials, printing errors).
Based on what you listed:
Rough total estimate
Putting it together, a reasonable ballpark for everything is around $50–$90 depending on how strict the “uncirculated” condition really is and whether the 1976 star note is from a scarcer run.

I have a well worn 2$ bill but the serial number is F39988888 A
Hello, I have a 1976 $2 bill serial number D00230450 * crisp but looks like it has been folded once. I also have 3 batches of consecutive serial numbers: L46300101A, 102A, 103A & 104A all uncirculated. L46300108A to 114A all uncirculated except for 113A very crisp but has been folded, the last run is L46300195A to 200A all uncirculated. what would be the approximate value?
I have a 1976 $2 bill that is miscut to the point that the border of the previous bill can just be seen in the lower left corner (face side) it is noticeably over inked (though not blotchy) and the ‘white’ of the bill is mottled with light grey ink clouds. It is in fair/crisp condition though the edges appear somewhat rough as if they tore slightly rather than cut cleanly. Do you think it is worth having appraised?
Hi Jason — thanks for the detailed description and the extra full photo. That helped a lot.
From what I can see, yours is a Series 1976 $2 Federal Reserve Note (serial L67349513A) with a slight miscut / off-center cut, but it does not look like a dramatic “gutter” error where part of the next note is clearly visible or where the design is cut off. On the full photo the borders are still mostly there on all sides, so collectors usually treat this as a minor miscut rather than a major error.
On the “over-inked / cloudy paper” part: uneven inking can happen, but most of the strong premiums go to errors that are very obvious (big third-print misalignment, clear gutter fold/adjacent note, big missing margins, etc.). General mottling/gray haze is often just handling/aging unless it’s extreme and clearly a printing issue. Also, the rough/torn-looking edge you mentioned usually hurts value a bit compared to a clean-cut uncirculated note.
What it’s worth (realistic expectation)
On eBay, minor miscut/off-center 1976 $2 notes commonly show up in the low premium range — I even found an example that sold around $5. You’ll also see similar notes listed around the low teens to ~$20 range, depending on how off-center they are and how crisp they look. More dramatic miscut/printing errors can be listed higher, but those are usually the ones with very obvious “wow factor.”
Based on your photos/condition, I’d personally ballpark it around $5–$15, and maybe up to ~$20 if you find the right buyer who likes the look.
Should you pay for an appraisal or grading?
Probably not, unless:
Third-party grading/appraisal costs usually eat up any profit at this level.
If you want to sell it anyway
If you want, reply with a clear close-up of that lower-left corner (the spot you mentioned) and I can tell you whether it’s truly showing the adjacent-note border or just normal edge/printing variation.
I have a 2-dollar bill in pristine condition serial number “L 19760704 A”—as well as 3,5,6,7,8,up to “60” all stmpd day of issue with stamps denoting the states.
What might the value be?Are there 11 bills with this number but with ABCDEFGHIJK as the pre num
Hi David — thanks for the details (I saw both of your comments, so I’ll answer here).
“L19760704A” is a really fun serial because it reads like 07/04/1976 (a “date serial”), and the L at the front is just the Federal Reserve district letter (L = San Francisco).
A couple important points about value:
Rough ballpark: most stamped souvenir $2 notes tend to sell around a few dollars to maybe $15–$25+ each depending on how crisp they are and how desirable the serials are, and a nice matching group/lot can do better than selling one at a time.
About your “11 bills” question
Yes — the same 8-digit number + ending letter can exist with other prefix letters A through K (plus your L), because each district prints its own serials. They aren’t “duplicates,” just different districts. You’d have to hunt them down individually to build that full set.
Best way to sell
If you want the strongest price:
If you want, paste the full list of serial numbers you have (or a photo), and tell me if the notes are crisp with no folds, and I’ll help you price the lot realistically.
I have a 1976 $2 bill D21342415A
Hi Sara! 😊 Thanks for sharing the serial.
A 1976 $2 bill like D21342415A is usually a common note, so most are worth only a little over face value unless it’s in really nice shape.
Circulated (folds/creases): typically $2–$4
Crisp/uncirculated: often $5–$15+
If you tell me whether yours is crisp or folded, and whether it has any special features (star note, misprint/error, fancy serial), I can narrow it down quickly.
I have 2 2 dollar bills E15192224A and F35711317A..what do you think they are worth
Hi Robin — thanks for sharing the serial numbers. Both of your notes (E15192224A and F35711317A) are regular $2 Federal Reserve Notes, not star notes, and the serials don’t fall into any of the “fancy number” categories that usually add collector value.
Because of that, the value mainly depends on condition:
If they’re circulated: worth $2 each
If they’re crisp uncirculated: they sometimes sell for $3–$5 each, but only to collectors who like building sets by district.
i have 3 2 dollar notes A02465062A series1963 B 17665419 A 1976series A79551084A series1953c
Hi Bernard! Thanks for sharing the details of your $2 notes. 😊
1953C Series (A79551084A) – These are from the older United States Note issues (red seal). Most circulated examples are fairly common and usually trade in the $5–$15 range, unless in crisp uncirculated condition where they can reach $30–$50+.
1963 Series (A02465062A) – Also a red seal note. Similar value range as the 1953C: about $5–$15 in circulated grades, with higher prices if the note is crisp and uncirculated.
1976 Series (B17665419A) – This was the famous Bicentennial issue (green seal, still legal tender today). Circulated examples are typically worth $2 to $3, though uncirculated notes or special runs (like star notes or first-day issues) can bring $10+.
👉 Things that can raise value: condition (crisp, uncirculated notes bring a premium), star notes (with a ★ at the end of the serial number), or fancy serial numbers (like repeaters, radars, or ladders).
So overall, your notes are nice collectibles, but unless they’re in pristine condition or have a special serial number, their value is modest. Still a fun little set that shows the transition from red seal U.S. Notes to modern Federal Reserve Notes!
I have 2 two dollar bills with serial numbers C20787798A & C20787799A ! Think?
Hi Nick, thanks for your comment! The notes you have are from 1976, which was the first year the modern $2 bills were re-issued for the U.S. Bicentennial. Having them in consecutive serial numbers (…798 and …799) makes them more fun to keep as a pair, since many collectors enjoy sets like that.
In terms of value, most 1976 $2 bills are still fairly common, especially if circulated. But if yours are in crisp uncirculated condition, the fact they are consecutive can add a small premium and make them more desirable as a set. At the very least, they’re definitely worth holding onto together rather than spending individually.
I have a two dollar bill I received as change while visiting Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville VA back in the early ’90s. I immediately tucked that bill inside my vistors guide and it has been there until a few minutes ago. The serial number is E 0004**** and is followed by a star. What can you tell me about it?
Your bill is a Series 1976 $2 Federal Reserve Note from the Richmond District (prefix “E”) with a replacement‑star suffix—catalogued as Friedberg # 1935‑E*. Star notes were printed only to substitute for sheets that failed quality control. Richmond received just 640,000 star notes, one of the smallest print runs of the entire 1976 issue (typical districts got 1.28 million)
Why the Serial Matters
Low number: Collectors treat any serial below 00010000 as “low‑number.” Your E 0004 xxxx* falls comfortably inside that band, giving it extra appeal (though the real premiums start below 00001000).
District scarcity + low number + star is a desirable three‑way combination for modern $2 bills.
Current Market Range (Richmond 1976 ★)
How to Evaluate Yours
Inspect under bright light: Look for vertical or horizontal center folds, corner bends, or surface wrinkles from storage in the guidebook. Any fold moves it out of “uncirculated.”
Paper quality: An uncirculated note feels stiff and embossing around the serials is still raised.
Centering: Wide, even margins boost high‑grade value.
If you believe it would grade CU 63 or better, consider submitting to PMG or PCGS Banknote; encapsulation can widen the buyer pool and lift the price into the upper part of the ranges above.
Preservation & Selling Tips
Slip it into an inert Mylar (PET) currency sleeve—avoid PVC plastics.
Store flat in the dark to prevent paper toning.
Compare recent realized prices on Heritage Auctions or eBay’s Sold Items filter for “1976 $2 E star note.”
If you decide to sell, clear photos of both sides, lighting that shows embossing, and mention of the low serial will attract stronger offers.
Bottom line: Even without grading, a crisp AU or better Richmond star with a 0004‑prefix is worth several times face value; in true Gem condition it can reach $150 + today. Treat it gently, and you have a neat Bicentennial‑era collectible that already beats the souvenir-shop premium you paid 30 years ago.
F 04990579A with 6 4 times signed by neff and William e f can make out rest
Dear Rachel Martin,
Thank you for your inquiry about your 1976 $2 Federal Reserve Note (F 04990579A). I’d be happy to help you determine its value.
I understand this bill has signatures from Neff and William E. Simon (Treasury Secretary at that time). However, I’m not entirely clear about what you meant by “with 6 4 times” in your message. Could you please provide some additional clarification about this detail?
For example, are you referring to:
If possible, a photo of the bill would be very helpful in providing an accurate assessment. The 1976 $2 bills were special Bicentennial issues, and depending on condition and unique characteristics, they can be worth more than face value to collectors.
Looking forward to your clarification so I can provide you with the most accurate information about your bill’s value.
Are sequential 1976 2 dollarbills in extra fine uncirculated worth anything?
Interesting question as I have 2 of these bills with sequential numbers.
I HAVE 3 STAR NOTE TWO DOLLAR BILLS UNSERCULATED SERIAL NUMBERS K00410858 -59- 60 ALL NEVER USED FROM 1976 K MINT ARE THEY WORTH ANYTHING
Hi Gustuf Sr. Edwin Young,
Based on recent eBay sales, K-series 1976 $2 star notes starting with “00” can often sell for around $30 each in uncirculated condition. If you have them graded and they score 65 or higher, they can go for even more. Consecutive serial numbers also add extra value. Good luck and hope this helps!
