1957 One Dollar Stars and 1976 Twos

[MunkyMan95]

A few years ago, I purchased 10 one dollar 1957 star notes off of ebay. I only payed around 20 dollars. Some are in pretty good condition, but others are heavily circulated. No pinholes, tears, or anything of that nature. Just some major folds and discoloration. Anyone know what the value might be? I also have 4 first-day postmarked 1976 twos. They have consecutive serial numbers and are gem CU. I got those about a year ago for $20 at a local shop, and the dealer threw in a 1953 red seal $5. What would the consecutive be worth now? thanks for the input

If you can post pictures it would help in an evaluation. Regarding the 'first-day' postmarked 1976 twos: what 'first-day'; what stamp(s) if any; anything special about the serial numbers? such as low numbers.

[MunkyMan95]

Not really low numbers... they have 13c stamps and are stamped at the fort worth texas post office. Scanner's broken so cant post pics right now, sorry.

Eagle, what is the postmark date? and what stamp -- the bi-centennial types or ?

[MunkyMan95]

Postmark date is April 13, 1976 and yes thay are the bicentennial stamps.

Thanks. Here's one postmarked July 4, 1976

Ok, so how does that help me?

[zrlevin]

Thanks. Here's one postmarked July 4, 1976

 

That's pretty neat, was it just randomly postmarked on that date or was it deliberate?

Deliberate... It was the 200 year anniversary of our country's independence. I have a two like that also. It has the april 13th stamp and the july 4th stamp.

SilverEagle and zrlevin,

First I apologize to SilverEagle for NOT specifically answering his inquiry: best guess would be $2.50 - $4.00 each; but it would completely depend upon the consecutive numbers; please post them. Remember that ladders, repeaters, radars, have some 'extra' value to those particular collectors. The red seal $5 probably isn't valueless either. Look at it this way, you got $13 face value currency for a $7 premium, and may recoup your entire investment plus a little.

 

zrlevin: considering that July 4, 1976 was a SUNDAY, I have to give many thanks to a wonderful postmaster for cancelling the notes.

Wasn't the April 13th date Jefferson's birthday?
