Anyone know the value of these $2 star notes?

Question

I have a few 1976 two-dollar bills from San Francisco.  They're star notes, and two of them have consecutive serial numbers.  Assume they can be rated as "uncirculated" (not totally sure this is the case, but they're clean and crisp, with no visible tears or creases).  I've called a few places, and the estimates range from worthless to upwards of $30.  Can anyone out there give me an accurate estimate as to what I could get for them, and how much a dealer would sell them for?

Without seeing pictures it's very difficult for anyone to give you a good answer. A lot depends on the condition of your bills.

1 - Take your coin to a local coin dealer (trustworthy ones can be found - shop around, get second opinions). It never hurts to get a second opinion. They will be able to tell you so much more by evaluation the condition of the bills. They will also know the amount printed and what it is going for in today's market.

2 - Try posting pictures on this website (there are many experts here that can help you evaluate it - there also may be people willing to buy if you are trying to sell):

3 - Repost this question and include pictures. You can use websites like photobucket.com and include the link in your question.

Good luck!

I don't really collect currency, but from what I have seen star notes in the condition you describe would sell for 2 to 3 times face value. The sequential ones might sell for a little more.

I would expect a dealer to offer only 50% to 60% of the selling price.
