Lou Gehrig Auto 1928 $2 Bill

[JimStinson]

Maybe a coincidence but was the late Ron D. favorite color ink.

Also has been some "suspect" signed currency hitting the market in the last couple years usually signed in pencil. Always Hall of Famers and never common players , all factors combined I'd suggest unless you can get it for $2.00 (Its worth at least that much) you've overpaid , And even if someone says its authentic it does not make it so. Use the dough to have a nice dinner and a night out.

A REMINDER the two most often forged signatures in the hobby Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

I grew up in NYC in the 50s-60s too. The phrase is, was, and always has been "as phoney as a three-dollar bill."

we used to buy bologna by the slice instead of the pound. I have heard it said both ways - of course as I said before the 3$ bill would be correct logically. I mistakenly figured that others had heard it that way - so I found the use of the 2$ ironic. Now I guess it's just tragic without the irony and I'll go back into my hole..... :-)

1) Although both the colony of Massachusetts [1] and the Thirteen Colonies[2] printed $3 bills, the United States never issued one; however, a $3.00 gold coin was issued by the U.S. from 1854 to 1889.

Legitimate three-dollar bills were also produced by various banks in the early days of the United States and by the Confederacy.[3] Before the creation of the Federal Reserve System, individual banks offered their own currencies.[4]

2) I found at least one other person (out of a pool exceeding 313 million here in the US) who has heard it that way :-)

3) I realize now I need help..........

edited to add appologies to the op for derailing the thread. It's a slow day here.
