What is the history on this item and how much does it cost now.

Hi, anthonyleal1!

Are you sure that what you have is a Silver Certificate and not a Federal Reserve Note?

What I found below is quoted from the following site.

United States two-dollar bill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_two-dollar_bill)



In 1976, the Treasury Department reintroduced the $2 bill as a cost-saving measure.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_two-dollar_bill#cite_note-2) The note was redesigned and issued as a Federal Reserve Note (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Note). The obverse featured the same portrait of Jefferson, a green instead of red seal and serial numbers, and an engraved rendition of John Trumbull (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Trumbull)'s The Declaration of Independence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumbull%27s_Declaration_of_Independence) on the reverse. First day issues of the new $2 bills could be taken to a post office (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_office) and stamped with the date "APR 13 1976". In all, 590,720,000 notes from Series 1976 were printed.


Thanks!
