Description

1976 $2 Federal Reserve Note — Hand-Signed by Treasurer Francine Neff

This offering features a Series 1976 $2 Federal Reserve Note from the Kansas City District (J), serial number J17006914A. The note bears the familiar portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and John Trumbull’s Declaration of Independence vignette on the reverse. Issued during America’s Bicentennial, this was the first $2 note reintroduced into circulation since 1929.

What makes this example highly collectible is the authentic hand-signed autograph of U.S. Treasurer Francine Irving Neff (1974–1977), placed boldly in black ink across the obverse. Neff’s engraved plate signature appears as standard on all Series 1976 notes, but her hand-signed “courtesy autograph” issues are scarce and sought after in the numismatic and autograph markets. Such pieces offer a direct connection to U.S. Treasury history and are recognized by collectors as significant Bicentennial-era keepsakes.

Condition

In good collectible condition with typical light circulation wear consistent with age. Serial numbers, Treasury seal, and printed elements remain clear and legible. Francine Neff’s autograph is bold, distinct, and free of smudging, standing out prominently against the note’s design. Please refer to photos for full detail.

Dimensions

Standard U.S. currency size: approximately 6.14 x 2.61 inches.
