This question is for Flying Blue Eagle.

Series? Date?: 1928 G
Signatures?: John W Snyder & Georgia Neese Clarke (might be misread)
Color of Seal?: Red
Color of numbers?: Red
There are NO stars before or after the numbers.
The only 'distinctive' writing on the bill is:
"This note is a legal tender at its face value for all debts public and private."
The condition of the paper is "Very Fine".

Will you please let me know if you think it's worth any type of significant monetary value?

Greatly appreciated! :)

You've done a really great job in describing the currency that you have, cecimoe747!

I'm not sure where Flying Blue Eagle has been. But, I do know that he has been having some health problems recently and hasn't been on the site as much as he would like. I'm sure that he will be addressing your question when he returns.

Sure, it's worth something, but how much would greatly depend upon the graded condition of it. You indicate that the condition of it is "very fine". I'm just wondering if you obtained that information based upon what you think the graded condition of it is or because you used some sort of professional reference in order to make the determination as to the graded condition.

Thanks!

Please have a look at the following concerning the possible graded condition of it. It is from the following site. 1.9) How do you grade the condition of paper money?

1.9) How do you grade the condition of paper money?

The condition of a note is critical to its value. Lowering the
grade of a note one notch can decrease its value by 1/3 or even
1/2. An expensive note which falls between two categories might
be worth a thousand dollars more in the higher category than the
lower one. Thus, it's often important to be more precise than
using a limited number of categories.

But here's a general guideline. Note that many dealers have
slightly different grading systems, especially with various
sub-grades of uncirculated. There's no official system of grading,
unfortunately. But these are pretty much universally accepted.
I've received a lot of input and tried to hammer out the best
descriptions for each category.

Crisp Uncirculated, UNC or CU: This means absolutely not the
slightest sign of any handling or wear or folding or *anything*.
Some people use additional grades to distinguish qualities such
as perfect centering or other printing characteristics. Certainly
a note which has centering problems which are visible from a
distance of 1 meter (3 feet) should have this mentioned in the
condition description.

Almost Uncirculated (or About Uncirculated), AU: This means there
is a slightly detectable imperfection such as a counting fold on one
corner or slightest fold in the center (nothing which breaks the
surface of the paper) or a pinhole. At first glance it looks like
an UNC note.

Extremely Fine, EF or XF: Generally three light folds or one strong
fold which breaks the surface. There may be slight rounding at the
corners.

Very Fine, VF: May have several folds although the note is still
crisp and has a minimum of dirt. There may be minor tears or very
small holes but nothing which distracts from the overall appearance
of the note. Take an uncirculated note and crumple it once in your
hand, then flatten it out: this is a Very Fine note. Repeat the
crumpling and it's still pretty much a VF note.

Fine, F: A circulated note where individual folds and creases may
no longer be visible. To distinguish this from a VF note, when
inspecting a Fine note, it clearly does not look like a note which
has merely been crumpled a few times: It doesn't have the crispness
and brightness of a VF note. No tears may extend into the printing.
This is your average in-the-wallet note.

Very Good, VG: Tears and small holes can be present. The note is
not crisp at all. The is your lower quality in-the-wallet note.
Lots of people on the 'net don't realize that a note in "very good"
condition is really pretty lousy.

Good, G: Small pieces missing, graffiti. A worn out note.

Fair: Major tears, etc. A badly worn out note.

Poor: Even worse.

To grade a note precisely, it can help to hold the note about
20 cm (7 inches) under a strong light source (use the same source
for comparing notes) and on top of a white piece of paper and
use a 3x or 4x power magnifying glass. Make sure your hands are
clean before handling a note. This method will show a lot of
minor imperfections which are not normally visible.

Note that note from many countries have standard features which
exist for even Uncirculated notes. Some notes from Bangladesh,
Bhutan, Burma/Myanmar, India, Nepal, and Pakistan are only found
with staple holes where staples are always used to hold packs of
notes together. Most dealers list Uncirculated notes of this type
as having the usual staple holes (often abbreviated as uSH-UNC).

Also, some notes printed in France (for about 15 different
countries) have a slight crinkle effect.

Clough,

Thanks for answering so quickly. I actually determined the condition of the paper from the same information you have here. Let me ask you though, crisp? Meaning like a brand new dollar bill? Mine has been through some hands, but I have been having it for years. It's pretty flat, & when held up to the light you can see where it was once folded.

I saw on a different website that Flying Blue Eagle was a "expert" & when I googled him, I found this website. I hope he gets better.

Cecimore747 & CLOUGH - Thanks Clough for holding the fort for me again ,I didn't have a very good chanch to post anything again , I got back out of the Hospital again last night.Barb had to make another fast run , I had another alleergy attack from the new medicine they gave me .

I know this sounds far out but I've always been pretty healthy till the last couple years and I never had to take much of anything until now so I never knew I would be so allergic to so many medications . Well the flying blue eagle is back in the air again . I have the values that Cecimore747 wanted . Here goes.

Hi, cecimoe747!

Yes, crisp basically means like the "stiffness" or "crispness" that a brand new bill would have. To me, if a bill is crisp, then it's not as likely to flop around hardly at all when a person holds it up by either end of it.

Paper currency is a little more difficult to grade than coins because there can be so many more variables as to what paper currency has gone through in the use that it might have had.

Hello, I have a question... what is the difference between 1620 and 1620*? I too have a 1928 red $2 bill, the only other numbers are A485, and , on the back, to the right of Monticello is the number 359. Does this mean anything? Thank you, Michelle P.S. Mr. Blue Eagle, I'm glad you are feeling better.
