Thanks guys. I now have another friend in the antiques and junk buisness. You can never have enough of those kinda friends lol.
These are my 2 latest finds and the story that goes with them.... The 9999 and 0000 endings are usually replaced by stars, but not always. I'm not quite sure what the explanation is here.... We're pretty sure that these two sheets are usually pulled by the inspector to check for serial mismatches that may have occurred at the rollover. So it's possible that the inspector sometimes misses a pair? Or I've heard speculation that, if there are no errors on the sheets, the inspector can put them back into the stack, but that he usually doesn't do this because he usually smeared the serials by touching the sheets when the ink was fresh. But I'm not sure I believe that story, because I'd've though the inspection process was more automated than that.... In any case, it *is* unusual to find the 9999 and 0000 endings getting into circulation these days, but it's *not* unheard-of.
Thanks Steve. This is something I've learned today about SNs and perhaps about the printing process. Very intriguing and excellent pick ups! Congrats.
