What is the value of a 1918 US 2 dollar bill?

Answer 1

1918 is a relatively rare year for US $2 bills. As of 02/2011 approximate prices are:

Circulated: $175 to $375 depending on the bill's condition

Uncirculated: $1000

The majority of $2 bills printed in the 19th and 20th centuries had red seals. The only years with blue seals were 1918 and 1899.

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.

DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are market averages as of the date shown, but may be different for an individual bill due to variations in quality and other factors. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a bill will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable currency dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on an in-person inspection.
