Clean and relatively crisp but with numerous wrinkles; small hole 1-2 mm near the "a" in "Bearer"

Update (March 1, 2026): Tracked items (value USD 50-250) going to Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, Canada, UK, (and most other EU countries) are now being sent via UPS. Please let me know if you prefer the postal service. Items going to other countries will be going via UPS when feasible, although shipping still mentions USPS. Thanks!

Schedule for future auctions:

- May 31 - June 7

- June 7 - June 14

- June 14 - June 21

Read below for updated shipping information (and combining shipping!)

I will have weekly auctions of banknotes about 20-25 weeks of the year. Weekly auctions open and close each Sunday at 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time each week. When an auction closes, a new one generally starts. Keep checking for new items.

The photo is always the best description. I am not a grader and generally do not grade a note unless it is clearly UNC.

*** I COMBINE SHIPPING! ***  No matter how many lots you buy, the shipping costs will not go up for the week or if you ask to combine. (See options for combining across auctions for international buyers below.)

SHIPPING TIERS:

*** US Shipping ***

·        $0-20: eBay Standard Letter = $3.00

·        $20-400: Ground Advantage = $5.50

·        $350+: Priority Mail = $5.50

*** International Shipping ***

·        $0-35:  Untracked first-class letter = $5.50

·        $35-200: Tracked first-class parcel = $12.75

·        $225+: Registered letter = $12.75

My goal is to get you your item as cheaply and quickly as possible. If you have concerns about tariffs, customs and other fees, please reach out and let me know -- I can work with you. Shipping has been working very well in spite of all of the disruptions to international trade in the past year.

NOTES ON SHIPPING TIERS (INTERNATIONAL):

·        Tracked first-class parcel: This option is the default for purchases between $30-225 and includes end-to-end tracking for countries that offer E-DELCON. (Please search the internet to check E-DELCON countries -- I can't post links to external websites.) If you want end-to-end tracking and live in a country that does not offer E-DELCON or don’t want a customs declaration, I can offer end-to-end tracking for an additional $7.50 through using registered letter (see below). DELCON, this end to end tracking is available to 57 countries, including many European ones, but also many non-European ones such as Lebanon, Kazakhstan, Oman, etc.

·        Registered Letter: This option is selected automatically if you purchase more than $225. Registered letter is the best way to ship important documents.

·        Untracked first-class letter: No value declared, sent as a document. I will take a photograph of your item with address, stamps, etc., entering the mail stream. Most deliveries take 2-3 weeks.

COMBINING SHIPPING ACROSS WEEKLY AUCTIONS:

Yes, combining shipping across weekly auctions is possible (up to 4 weeks and $1000) for international buyers. (And I encourage it because it saves us both time and money.) I will also upgrade the shipping to registered letter if the combined total of your purchases exceeds $225.

Please ask to combine if:

-        You have purchased from me before;

-        You have more than 20 positive feedback ratings and have been on eBay for more than 1 year

*** Please be sure to notify me that you would like to combine shipping across auctions, especially if you are a new customer***

How does it work? For example, you purchase an item during the first Sunday of the month for $50 and see additional items you are interested in the next week. Let me know, wait to pay, and I will hold your item. On the second Sunday, you purchase an item for $100 – the price of postage is still the same. The third Sunday, perhaps you forget or you don’t see anything. Not a problem. On the fourth Sunday of the month, you purchase an item for $100. You can pay at the end of the month and the cost of shipping stays at $12.75 and it is shipped with registered letter.

NEW!! - UPGRADING TO REGISTERED LETTER

Shipping is available to almost everywhere. Registered mail in/from the U.S is very secure, but it is very expensive. I offer a significant subsidy for buyers purchasing expensive/multiple items, but I cannot do it for small purchases. For example, if someone purchases something for $50 and insists on registered letter, the cost of shipping with registered mail is sometimes over $30…it’s unsustainable.

If you have a purchase under $225 and want it shipped with registered mail, have created a way to pay for an upgrade in shipping, which will be present in every auction, “Registered letter costs.” If you want registered mail, please click on this and purchase one of these upgrades for $7.50 and I will happily ship via registered mail. If you want a $50 purchase (for example) shipped by registered letter and do not want to pay the costs, I hope that we can agree that it’s better for both of us to cancel.

OTHER NOTES:

-        I DO NOT include eBay invoices in ANY orders, be they from US buyers or international buyers. There are so many good reasons for this (including the fact that I receive many requests asking me not to include them). If you want an invoice, please let me know.

-        If you are ordering from outside the US, I may dispatch your order in other items (such as a booklet or brochures) for protection against bending/mishandling while shipping. Please look inside!

-        As postage costs increase and the USD declines relative to other currencies, shipping costs have had adjust commensurately. You’ll see that I offer significant shipping subsidies to both US and international buyers.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks!
