What is a rare date for US 2 dollar bills?

1928 A and 1928 B are the only small-size $2 bills that carry a significant premium. Circulated bills with an "A" series letter might bring $50 to $80 at retail depending on their condition, while "B" bills retail for $70 to $175.

By contrast, nearly all pre-1928, large-size $2 bills sell for significant premiums. Values range from $50-$75 for a 1917 $2 US Note up to $550-$2500 for an 1890 Treasury Note. Uncirculated specimens can be worth even more.
