I need feedback on this serial number is it interesting or just ignore it what can anyone say about it.
AN ALMOST RADAR IS LIKE A BOB-TAIL STRAIGHT. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION. WHEN THEY NOTICE IT LATER ON THEY WILL FEEL CHEATED.
Probably not much of a premium but a cool find. Bookends (Find current bookend notes on ebay!) Bookends occur when the same sequence of digits can be found at both ends of the serial number. For example, in the serial number 52194521, "521" is the sequence of digits occuring at both the beginning and end of the number and are called "bookends." Serial numbers 62043620 and 14555514 are bookend notes as is the example shown below (20516320). Google search. (From eBay)
Traditionally there are supposed to be zeros in the middle: 79000079, or 52100521. But it's not uncommon for definitions to get looser on Ebay.... By the way, you have to be careful with the word "bookend" because it also means several other things. Sometimes, "bookends" refers to the *letters* in the serial number: matching block letters like A..A or G..G. This usage seems to be getting less common, perhaps because most denominations now use three-letter serials. Among collectors of error currency, "bookends" are the normal notes that have serial numbers consecutive to an error note. So if 83237245 has a butterfly fold or something, then the normal notes 83237244 and 83237246 would be the bookends to that error. Some error collectors will pay an extra premium for errors that come with bookends.
Yes, but as noted by Numbers not in the traditional sense and as noted by me a minor variety with not much of a premium. Add consecutive numerals between the 79s (79222279, 79555579) or add another matching number to the 79 (791----791) and the note becomes more interesting which may increase its value. The closer the numerals get to Numbers' examples the more interesting the note becomes.
I have been spending notes with only the center numbers off from a radar. Will sell the next one and see how I do. Since I only get $7 for a one dollar radar I'm guessing that one off would fetch at best three times face. Live and learn. I knew about radars; repeaters; solids and the cheaters for folks who play liars poker - five or more of the same number. Obviously folks always buy my star notes. Thanks.
