Description
This lot features three consecutive $2 bills from the 1976 Series. The obverse displays a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, while the reverse depicts John Trumbull's painting, 'The Declaration of Independence.' Each bill has a special Bicentennial postmark showing aircraft and the text 'Commercial Aviation' and 'USPO 1976'. The sequential serial numbers are F 25429493 A, F 25429494 A, and F 25429495 A.
History
The 1976 $2 bill was part of the United States Bicentennial celebration, commemorating the nation's 200th anniversary. Thomas Jefferson, a Founding Father and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, is honored on the obverse. The reverse showcases the pivotal moment of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a cornerstone of American history. These bills were produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
Facts
The $2 bill has a unique history, having been issued in various forms since the late 18th century. Its circulation has been less frequent than other denominations, often leading to collector interest. The Bicentennial issue added a special commemorative element, and the inclusion of postal cancellations on some notes, as seen here, further enhances their appeal to philatelists and numismatists alike.
Value Fact
Uncirculated 1976 $2 bills, especially those with special markings or sequential serial numbers, can command a premium over face value. The Bicentennial postmarks add a unique appeal, potentially increasing desirability for collectors interested in postal history and currency combined. Demand is typically driven by collectors of commemorative issues and those seeking sequential banknotes.
