Nothing surprises me any more from the USPS. Took them 10 days to get something to me that was 60 miles away. Best of luck getting it soon.

funny stuff folks
No have not gotten it yet.
but the 85026 is my local P.O. which was there twice already - lets see if it makes another circuit of the Phoenix Metro area again tomorrow.

I would classify it as AU almost uncirculated though. and my 7070 album has been waiting for this dime..

That is a scary image CFM

Well it arrived today, but not without issues.

Initially it came up as 'out for delivery" then it went to "WAS intended for deliver for Jan 26 (today) then a deliver truck pulled up I wen out to meet him and got my mail, it was not in his truck. He told me that my regular guy called out or something and the routes were split.
So I got my 1866 Shield nickel with rays in hand and STILL waiting on my 1853 Half Dime with arrows by date.
Then another mail truck pulled up he had my Half Dime (and my Dansco 7070 gold page too.

So in the end they stopped their walk-abouts and got home.
