I just checked the tracking info and they updated the delivery day to today, so hoping to have them this afternoon.

Received the bills today. All are crisp, and in good condition. Only one has a marking on it. Not sure why, but someone wrote the number 26 on the face, in red ink, to the left of the head (outside of the circle). Other than that... very pleased with my purchase, and happy to finally have the bill I've been seeking.

The number is probably from people 'cashing up' at the end of a business day in a pub or restaurant. You make a pile of each note and make a note of the number in that pile on the top not so it's easy to k ow a)how much you made and b) if anyone has nicked one in the morning :)

Good news!
Except for the red number, it was undeniably a good bid!

Hi all,


I have just a little story to tell you :
Last night I found a letter in the letterbox.

Image

I look at the postmark.
Image
U.S. postage ? ... what is it ? 8-) ... Impossible to see through the letter ...
so... what is it ? ... Perhaps EvanS who sends the $ 10 bill ? :D

I open the envelope. Inside, there is a post-it with a message, two cards and ...
Image

... that's all! :shock:
Image

Oh! oh! oh! Evans is a malicious magician. I remember his PM, maybe there is a secret compartment :mrgreen: Wow! a false bottom!
Image
Image

Yes!!!!!!! The bills is in excellent condition and the trick is now complete!!!
Image

EvanS, a big thaaannnnk ttooooo Yooouuuuu!!!!!!
14$ :shock: :shock: :shock: Without you, I would never have had this bill at this price and probably with this quality!
I'm very very happy! Thanks again EvanS! :D

Very cool! Also a great way to make sure noone steals the cash on the way over. ;)
