There are a couple items spare: There will be 1 x $5 1998 polymer. Radar serial numbers CD/E/F/G 98 888 889. Rarer radar type as it includes first two numbers of serial. http://www.iagauctions.com/pba/prod...?lot_id=3546The final bid was $232 plus commission of $38, so a total of $270 (or $67.50 each plus postage to-&-from). Most likely under $75.00 register (TBC) ONLY ONE LEFT There will be 1 x $50 1993 Paper. Radar serial numbers WYF/WYG/WYN 988889. http://www.iagauctions.com/pba/prod...?lot_id=3548The final bid was $211 with commission of $35, so a total of $246 (or $82 each plus postage to-&-from) Most likely under $90.00 registered (TBC) ONLY ONE LEFT |

I bid on five & only won three. The three I won I was prepared to pay to win. Some items went real cheap. We'll have to wait till their next auction. I was quite surprised as I'm sure a lot of others would be. If I had a bit more cash around I could have spent well over the $600 that I spent.

How does someone put together sets of notes with matching radar numbers like that?
Dont they end up all over the place after they are printed?

Theoretically, they would be from the same sheet.

Exactly as FNQ presumed, here's an example of $5. For $5, each sheet contains 40 prefixes. I can confirm the top left 4 prefixes from a block of four that I have. From this I'm certain the rest of the sheet is laid out this way:
$5 1 2 3 4 5
1 BA BI CD CL DG
2 BB BJ CE CM DH
3 BC BK CF DA DI
4 BD BL CG DB DJ
5 BE BM CH DC DK
6 BF CA CI DD DL
7 BG CB CJ DE DM
8 BH CC CK DF EA

Ok call me an idiot but why is "M" the last letter for a prefix?
I mean why go from BA to BM and not all the way to BZ.
Seems to be a quick way to burn through the prefix's to me.

Once the sheets are cut and bundled, how does someone get sets like this?

Ozcoins,I believe Downies distribute the notes from NPA,so if you want particular sets like these you contact Downies & ask them if you can order in advance any particular notes you want.

Years ago, one could go the the Reserve Bank branch. In Melbourne it is in Collins St near Exhibition St. I used to get paper notes in bundles of 100 - flat unc. No special numbers/serials, it was just pot luck.
I guess with the interest in special serials/year codes/solids/radars, the NPA will be out to make a quid, via Downies. So does that mean there's squat chance of picking up a solid just in general circ.? Would these now be squirrelled away by the distributors?

Peter, I think what the RBA was doing was allowing themselves to have half the alphabet (N-Z) for testing/trials & etc. The standard prefeix system at this point in time is A-M (13 letters) & N-Z is also the same amount of letters. This may have made it easier when they were utilising these notes for testing, where as soon as a serial of ?N through to ?Z would come through then they'd pick it out quite easily. Downies were selling via auction prior to 2007 (which means pre-2007 solids & etc will be easier to buy in UNC whereas I think notes after 2007 & after will be much harder to find. (So Downies, the RBA & NPA would have all been making good coin...or note). Now you can buy notes from the RBA...with big bucks & pot luck. There's nearly a 35% mark-up on first & last prefixes, not to mention the additional costs for credit card & their lovely $16.50 postage charge. That's why I was mentioning buying a big lot together if anyone wants. I know what I want. Here was my original post: https://goccf.com/t/119837 br / I would say that the way they are cut wouldd reflect notes behind one-another...i.e: 000001, 000002, 000003 etc. The prefixes would have been sorted out by sheet form rather than notes. I'd love a sheet with solid serials any day. But as Penny Dreadful said, the distributors are probably loving life, but we're yet to know. |
