WOW!!!
How was it shipped. If it was not registered, then why not?
Sad but will keep open eye
I have no idea personally, Doug Davis may have that information. Registered takes a long time, so probably in this case the case has been opened with the usps hence the August 13 date to now. I would never take that type of risk without full insurance. How many people regret they didn't arrange to personally deliver a high value shipment after the fact.
For that amount of value I’d seriously think about buying a RT plane ticket to deliver the notes and just make a weekend out of it…
Personal delivery the way to go in this case.
1902 $5 X464180D
Do you have a town name or charter for this note? No one really recognizes them with just the Treasury number.
Family, Neighborhood, Community,
make the World a better place.
You'd have to see if Doug Davis has them.

On September 15, 2025 NCIC sent out an alert on a USPS registered package that was reported lost/stolen while enroute from Missouri to Florida. A Florida dealer contacted NCIC and advised that a subject recently sold him notes that were listed on the alert and was returning to sell more that same afternoon. NCIC contacted a USPS Postal Inspector in Florida and coordinated the investigation between the dealer and inspector.
Due to the quick actions of the Florida dealer, NCIC, Postal OIG Inspectors and several currency dealers the suspect (a postal employee) was identified and property valued in excess of six figures was recovered. The investigation is on-going.
The success of this case is due to the coordinated efforts by all parties involved.
The package contained the following notes:
