[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 3310904, member: 5629"]As with regards to serial numbers, I agree "bookend" is bogus, made-up, hype of a word when it comes to serial numbers: cool, but not fancy. However, "bookend" is a term that has been in use with paper money for many decades, but has nothing to do with serial numbers. A "bookend" is one note lower or one note higher to a [B]changeover pair[/B] ("bookends" referring to both). I'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. 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. One lower and one higher than those pairs will be "bookends". As a side note, PCGS Currency also attributes "Bookend to a Reverse Changeover Pair" on such notes. edit: Ok...I said "nothing" to do with serial numbers...but what I meant was in the way referred by the OP. Obviously it has to do with the serial numbers, but not in the manner being hyped by "some" nowadays.[/QUOTE]
