Postal Notes – United States Postal Notes

Postal Notes are very collectible and we do purchase them in addition to currency.  Postal notes were essentially the original money orders of The United States.  Postal notes could only be purchased for sums up to five dollars.  As you can imagine, not many postal notes exist today.  Many of the postal notes that are still around were saved as collectible items by local postmasters.  As with national bank notes, location is a big factor in what makes postal notes desirable.  Typically postal notes from western states, southern states, and tiny towns are rarer and more valuable than postal notes from large cities or New England and Midwest states.

Postal notes in collectible condition are usually worth between $150 to $2,000.  If you have a postal note to sell – then please tell us about it: info@papermoneybuyers.com
