Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: These are very popular bank notes. They are nicknamed lazy deuces. Examples in heavily circulated condition typically sell for $1,000 as the bottom dollar price. There is plenty of room for that price to be higher. The exact value is really just based on the bank of issue. The state of issue can also be very important. Many notes from southern and western states are especially rare. Contact us for details. Don’t forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: There is a very fervent collector base of notes from the St. Louis metro area. Probably 98% of St. Louis notes are very common, but the rare ones can sell for very strong money. Sadly, the same is not really true for Kansas City notes. They are very common and rarely sell for surprising prices. We normally think of large size notes as being extremely desirable. However, small notes from Missouri are at least as popular. We have also noticed that relatively scarce notes in heavily circulated condition just aren’t in demand; but notes with similar statistics in XF condition or better often sell for many multiples of what the circulated note is worth. The collectors out there are very picky when it comes to condition.
