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?

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!
