<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 3310904, member: 5629&quot;]As with regards to serial numbers, I agree &quot;bookend&quot; is bogus, made-up, hype of a word when it comes to serial numbers:&nbsp; cool, but not fancy.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, &quot;bookend&quot; is a term that has been in use with paper money for many decades, but has nothing to do with serial numbers.&nbsp; A &quot;bookend&quot; is one note lower or one note higher to a <b>changeover pair</b> (&quot;bookends&quot; referring to both).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m in a bit of a hurry to get out of town for a few, but you all are able to look the term up.&nbsp; Anyone that has the <i>Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money</i> can look up some changeover pairs in the Appendix I.&nbsp; One lower and one higher than those pairs will be &quot;bookends&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note, PCGS Currency also attributes &quot;Bookend to a Reverse Changeover Pair&quot; on such notes.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>edit:</p><p>Ok...I said &quot;nothing&quot; to do with serial numbers...but what I meant was in the way referred by the OP.&nbsp; Obviously it has to do with the serial numbers, but not in the manner being hyped by &quot;some&quot; nowadays.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
