That's great news! However, 54 days in the postal pipeline with all of the consequent stress is totally unacceptable. That's the principal reason why I always go with FedEx these days. I sent two 50-note shipments of world notes to PMG very recently. Both shipments arrived safely around 10:30 am on the morning following the day I shipped them. If you enter the following two Tracking Numbers into the FedEx.ca tracking site you will witness the highly detailed tracking information which generates a lot of peace of mind: 810170850292 and 810170231305).

By the way, the *STAR* designation is very rarely assigned by PMG and it can add huge desirability and value in the eyes of many collectors. I have sent well over 200 high-grade notes to PMG and have only received one single *STAR* designation to date!

The worst part is I only sent in 2 of the 4 consecutives to be graded.
Now I`m gun shy to send in the other 2.

I finally received a formal response from Canada Post regarding the $300 banknote that was lost/stolen/destroyed in the Registered Mail system en route to the UK last October. I will be reimbursed in the amount of $54.60 plus the cost of Regular (NOT Registered) postage.

That is some sweet embossing on those fifties.
