American collectors love their sheets of uncut notes but I have seen more mixed reactions here. The X note (replacement pair) may be more sought after. I have seen a lot more interest in the higher denominations ($5 & $10) which I think are much less common.

I really find it hard to look at banknotes as an investment even though I have seen most of the tougher varieties go up in BV. The thing is that the publishers often raise the Book Values on the advice of a pricing panel. The pricing panel can consist of dealers as well as collectors who may (or may not) have the notes in question. This is why I see paper money more as a hobby than an investment. It’s pretty difficult to predict what will go up bu(& what may stagnate or lose value). Collectors are very skittish and usually only buy when they feel positive about their wealth & the economy. If you’re going to buy something buy something that you’re pretty sure you can sell for the same price immediately after.

These are not uncut sheets.
1973 $1 notes were printed in sheets of 40 in either 8x5 or 4x10 depending on the printer.
Your notes have been cut from 40 note sheets.

According to the Charlton Standard Catalogue they also made partial sheets of 2, 3, 4, 8,etc. notes. Which were cut from sheets of 40 but still call them uncut.
I used to work at the Ottawa Printing Company as a cleaner in the mid 70's and they sold them in different sheet sizes.

It doesn't matter how they sold them, or what they (erroneously) called them.
Like I said They were printed in sheets of 40 and cut from those.
