Here are the rest of the US that happily came along as a bonus. Sorry I don't have catalog other than Canadian so I am curious. Thanks ahead for the help.

This is, of course, a quick 'n' dirty ID. Don't make any investment decisions based on my advice--you might have enough here for a few tasty adult beverages at your local watering hole.

The top three are banknotes, and actual ID will be based on presence or absence of grills, secret marks, and paper type. 206 is also a banknote, but I'm calling it a 206 because it looks like the frame lines are thin and spindly, characteristic of this re-engraved number compared to earlier numbers.

Mystic stamp has a good online catalog which can be used to get values. Catalog values, of course, are pure fiction. You, as seller, will never get it. You, as buyer, would be foolish to pay it, IMHO.

Thanks for adding the numbers that is a big help. I've read a few other post about grill marks and how varying they can be. I was pretty surprised to get these as a bonus with a canadian assortment I bought privatly. I don't collect US so I'll probably have to do individual high res scans to see for sure what they are if I plan on selling. I'd love to start collecting US but the mrs is about ready to shoot me just for what I do with Canada.

First, it is hard to tell from the scan. Larger scan would help ID. The second stamp is the re-engraved Scott 207 the next stamp is either 159 or 186 depending on paper (looks soft paper 186), The special delivery is line under denomination E4 uwk or E5 Wmk 191. Booklet pane looks rotary per 11x10.5 (Scott 632a). First stamp looks soft paper (183). Cannot see enough detail for the 1 cent but color is consistent with 206.
