bvalania Valued Member United States 458 Posts	Posted 03/07/2010 7:50 pm Or are you saying someone simply mailed this bill to someone? Report this Post to the Staff
StJoeBlues Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 03/07/2010 8:08 pm They weren't mailed, just stamped and cancelled. I've got one with a Michigan stamp, cancelled April 13, 1976 that my dad got for me. I'm not sure the purpose of the stamp and cancellation, though. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/07/2010 8:12 pm The first day of issue for the 1976 Series $2 was April 13, 1976. Many people had them postmarked to commemorate the occasion in a similar manner to the recent Lincoln Cent rolls and they can sell for up to $10 when CU. Notice the postmark on this one- Jefferson Memorial Station. The USPS set up a postal station at the Arch, which is known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial.

coretj Valued Member United States 436 Posts	Posted 03/07/2010 9:03 pm unfortunately you are missing the postage stamp along with most of the postmark. The bill is worth $2.00 Report this Post to the Staff
