Are there specific requirements for a note to be classified as a radar note? Basically my 1963 $1 FRN has the serial number:
I 00428240 A
I assume that the letters aren't required to match, but mine has an extra "0" at the front too. Does that disqualify it from being a "true" radar note, do collectors of this type of thing care? Here is a picture of it. It is in perfect CU condition, so what might it be worth? I have another perfect CU condition 1963 $1 note with just a normal random looking serial number, what would that be worth?

1963-$1-FRN-Radar?

Sorry about the less than perfect photo, I am having some trouble with my picture hosting site right now.

Radar notes by definition will look like 12341234

There are many areas of paper money like triple digits and so forth.

Are you sure?

That looks like a repeating number. My understanding is that a radar number would be 1234321 or 12344321, Thus the term radar (meaning basically a number that will look the same when read forwards or backwards, just like the word radar).

Sorry, you are right. Mental block on my part today. Radar notes are the same forward or backwards.
Rest in Peace

Hi, this is the definition I found....Mike

Some examples of collectable serial numbers are; low numbers (A00000035A), radar notes which are the same forwards and backwards (A12344321A), 6-8 same digits (A33333333A, A16444444A), special numbers (A00001776A, A19970000A), etc. Basically, any strange or interesting serial number combination is probably collectable and worth more. (good link on currency info below)

Twentycent, this is a quote from the link I posted above......

Basically, any strange or interesting serial number combination is probably collectable and worth more.

For more info, this is a pretty good reference site...
