Some new Notes arrived - Show your NEWP's

Generally I lurk on this side. Watch and read, and think about my small collection of paper. I'm more of a coin guy. Fractional's were my first foray. I posted one a few days ago, I think the first time I ever posted on this part of the forum.

A picture I called "Two-Fifty" when I took it 15 years ago ... which is really more of a coin picture, but has a 50c Stanton in it. It happens to be in an ancient holder, and I have received a couple of messages about that picture since.

Anyway, I'm going to post something else. These arrived today. Sellers pictures.

Accurately graded so far as I can tell. Just the faintest of an old rolling fold down the center of each one, as they probably were squirreled away together for their whole lives after they left the bank. Lovely notes for what they are, in my opinion.

Let me know what you think, and show your latest NEWP's!

    It would be nice to share my pickups from the LK sale in June, but they are seemingly lost in the postal distribution centre.

    Very nice. I just picked up my Lyn Knight notes yesterday so I'm sure your notes are in the mail SaorAlba.

    Super nice. Four consecutive $1 large-size SCs with identical AU grades. That might be a first for me. Thanks for sharing.

    They are in the mail, lost. I looked up the tracking on LK's website and they have been in a midwest postal distribution centre for 1.5 weeks.

    Stay positive my friend. I am confident the notes will arrive. The post office once lost a note I shipped a few states away and it showed up in 6 months. Talk about snail mail.

    A week and a half is a hiccup in the world of the Post Office in the best of times ... I think for many of us we've all been there, and as frustrating as it is, it usually works out in the end.

    I would think especially in today's world, and even more so if it is a Registered package, the probability of a unforeseen delay is greater still.

    Keep your chin up! And let us know when they show!!

    Tuesday, July 28 ... I'll take the under
