<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 2890977, member: 11668&quot;]Traditionally there are supposed to be zeros in the middle: 79000079, or 52100521.&nbsp; But it&#039;s not uncommon for definitions to get looser on Ebay....</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, you have to be careful with the word &quot;bookend&quot; because it also means several other things.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes, &quot;bookends&quot; refers to the *letters* in the serial number: matching block letters like A..A or G..G.&nbsp; This usage seems to be getting less common, perhaps because most denominations now use three-letter serials.</p><p><br /></p><p>Among collectors of error currency, &quot;bookends&quot; are the normal notes that have serial numbers consecutive to an error note.&nbsp; So if 83237245 has a butterfly fold or something, then the normal notes 83237244 and 83237246 would be the bookends to that error.&nbsp; Some error collectors will pay an extra premium for errors that come with bookends.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
