My Mood:
not what i expected, but still a good find

Ok, so if you have been folloiwng my 'exploits' the last week or so, i keep getting close to finding a radar or ladder, but am always that last pesky digit off. So i go to the bank, exchange my $200 in 1's for 20 $10's. The first note was 01131110 second note 01132110 and then 01132111, 01132112 lol, and the rest just followed suit... so, it came close, but failed to deliver

So i go to my next bank, and grab another $200 in 1's. Gte back to the office, look through them for all the usual odities. the first oddity was no star notes. i average 2, sometimes find 1 or 3, but rarely do i not find any. so i start looking through the dates, i did pull out 2 1988A's. I find many more 1988A's then even 1993 (which i very seldom find!!) i also pulled a nice crisp 1999 and a semi-crisp lol 1995.

When i finish, i was looking over the 1988A notes and comparing them. They didnt look right. Thet didnt look the same. It took me a minute or two before it slapped me across the kisser... one of the 1988A's was a WEB-NOTE!!!

i looked up the note in my charts (Which i got from Here , EK block front plate 8 back plate 8 and print run 9. It has a rarity of 2. Now the rarity factor is a bit confusing to me. Some rarity 1's have less the 5 known, some have 6-10 known and some have 11-20 known. Some rarity 2's have 11-20 known as well. I own a rarity 1 with 11 -20 known. This EK note, with a rarity of 2, doesnt have a note of how many are known, so i assume its more then 20 - but how many more?? for it to have the rarity of 2, could it have 100, 1000 or more known examples??? or is it more like 20 to 30??

It may not be unique, or one of the top 50 1988A web notes, but still ... i was geeked to find it
