AI Appraisal Estimate

This is a standard small-size United States Federal Reserve Note with a face value of two dollars. The bill features a central portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. To the left is the black Federal Reserve Bank seal for Cleveland, Ohio (indicated by the letter 'D' and the number '4'), and to the right is the green Department of the Treasury seal. The serial number, D02793395A, is printed in green ink in two locations. The note is labeled as 'Series 2013' and bears the facsimile signatures of Rosa Gumataotao Rios (Treasurer of the United States) and Jacob J. Lew (Secretary of the Treasury). Physically, the bill is printed on the standard blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen paper with integrated red and blue security fibers. The condition is heavily circulated; it exhibits significant vertical and horizontal creasing, deep folds, surface wrinkling, and localized discoloration or grime characteristic of frequent handling. There is softening of the paper texture and visible wear along the edges and corners, though no major tears or missing pieces are immediately apparent. The craftsmanship follows the high-security intaglio printing process used by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, though much of the original crispness and tactile ink feel has been lost due to wear.

Upon my virtual examination of this Series 2013 $2 Federal Reserve Note from the Cleveland district (D), I have determined the item to be a genuine example of modern United States currency. Authenticity is supported by the characteristic intaglio printing depth visible in the portrait of Thomas Jefferson and the specific typography of the Treasury and Federal Reserve seals. However, as an appraiser, I must note that a visual scan cannot verify the physical presence of red and blue security fibers or the magnetic properties of the ink; a physical inspection and UV light test would be required for absolute authentication. The condition of this note is classified as 'Circulated' or 'Good/Very Good' at best. The heavy vertical and horizontal creasing, significant surface grime, and loss of paper crispness indicate extensive use in commerce. In the numismatic market, Series 2013 $2 bills were printed in massive quantities—hundreds of millions of notes. This specific serial number (D02793395A) is common and does not feature any 'fancy' patterns such as radars, low numbers, or repeaters that would attract a premium. Furthermore, it is not a 'Star Note.' Because the bill is heavily worn and lacks rarity or a collectible serial number, it holds no additional value for collectors. Market comparables for circulated modern $2 bills consistently show they trade at face value. Therefore, its market value remains exactly $2.00. While $2 bills are often perceived as rare by the general public, they remain in active circulation and are readily available at most banking institutions upon request.
