<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wacky1980, post: 1548910, member: 32383&quot;]got an odd question for all you pros on here.</p><p><br /></p><p>&lt;backstory&gt;</p><p>about a year ago i picked up a handful of mixed notes, including several sequential 1976 $2 notes with stamps. the last one had a serial number H00300000A. the following pic is from the thread i posted about the notes, for reference:</p><p>[ATTACH]208135.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>anyways, the four sequential notes ending in 00300000 had what appeared to be a scrape or crumple along the top left edge of the note, as you can (barely) see in the pic. i had assumed they all suffered the same damage as a result of poor handling, and moved on with my life.</p><p><br /></p><p>earlier today, i was talking to the man i bought the notes from. he said he had found in his home, the old delivery container that these notes were delivered to the bank in from the FED (this guy worked there when the notes were delivered in &#039;76 apparently). he said banks could only purchase those $2 notes in blocks of $8,000 and they were delivered in a container that had wooden ends and steel bands wrapped around the entire block of notes. he asked me if i was interested in the container, and of course i said yes. </p><p><br /></p><p>i got to thinking about the notes, and now the damage to them is starting to make more sense. is it possible that those four notes were on the back end of the block, and were squeezed a bit by the steel bands holding the block together, causing the damage? does anyone know about the type of delivery method that i&#039;ve explained here, specifically for $2 notes from the 1976 series? i&#039;ve poked around at the internet, but have had no luck finding any relevant info. any insight would be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
