How much is a 1953 A red seal 2 dollar bill worth in excellent condition?

Answer 1

To clear things up, most old bills are not silver certificates. The red seals and words "United States Note" across the top of your bills indicate yours are US Notes, a form of paper money issued until the late 1960s. US Notes were more like current Federal Reserve Notes and were not redeemable for silver.

"In God We Trust"That phrase was first put on $1 bills in 1957 and other denominations starting in the 1960s, so the fact that a 1953 bill doesn't have it is not a mistake. Serial NumbersA bill's serial number is a counter and a security feature. In most cases it doesn't affect a bill's value or help to identify it. Some collectors specialize in bills with low serial numbers (e.g. 00000005) or unusual patterns (12344321) so these can bring above-average prices.
