Keeping with my theme of lacking focus, attention span, etc, here's a random page of US back of book that I have somehow acquired. I came across these this evening while looking through my collection looking for Pan-Pacific stamps.

The revenues are unidentified.

Rileysan,

I love the Postal Currency notes. I have a few but, never enough.

Great Rileysan. I love the postal currency as well. Been meaning to track some down, but the list is long.

Wow! I love just about everything on that page! my grandfather had one of those postage currency notes in his coin collection but it was a different denomination. here is what it looked like. (I grabbed this from the web to show you) sadly his was sold after he passed. Fascinating! I would love to get one of these.

Thank you for the information, Art!The first two were acquired with the Postal Currency note and a few other BoB items I bought who-knows-when. I'm happy to know they aren't worthless!

I had a 2001 Specialized but already gave it away to another SCF member. I might get another in 2020 if you want to wait awhile?
