EmperorFives Valued Member Singapore 68 Posts	Posted 01/29/2010 01:48 am If the serial number is "D 00188100 D", it would have been a very cool radar. The prefix and suffix Ds on both ends make it an even stronger radar. In any case, your "D 00181100 D" is still a nice note. Report this Post to the Staff

wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 12:18 am I think that a "bookend" note is the same as an "almost radar", as has been pointed out. Your note may be described as a bookend with three digits-001xy100. There are people on ebay selling bookends of only two digits-00wxyz00. Of course if the bookend were four digits, it wouldn't be a bookend at all, but a true radar. I think that the "bookend" term is one of many made up by ebay sellers to attribute something special to a statistically common occurrence. As interesting as it is, I personally don't give it any extra value. If you search through enough bills, you'll find plenty of "almost". That being said, if it's worth $1.01 to you it's worth keeping! -wheatiefan Report this Post to the Staff
zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 01:11 am If a normal note is worth one dollar, and this one looks to be maybe 25% longer than normal, it should be worth at least $1.25 Report this Post to the Staff
