Sometimes these show up for resale but the sellers break them up individually to maximize the price and it messes up whole thing. I THINK if they kept them together serious collectors would payup. All the seller needs to do is start the auction at a particular price point and see if it gets any hits.

This is only possible with a leading Zero, Repeater bricks. 0421 0321 0421 0521 I think IF you started changing other digits it would NOT make sense and would it be considered?  |

Neat numbers Ceylon.... what do you call those things? Are there names for them, or are they just near misses?
I've noticed a few mentions made to bricks in this thread.... a brick consists of 40,000 notes..... what are you guys referring to as "bricks"?

A "proper" brick is 4K (Four Thousand) notes. But, most refer to 1K as bricks (including most bank tellers I know) and it is 1K that I reference in previous posts as bricks.
100 Notes = 1 Strap
1,000 notes = 1 Bundle
4,000 notes = 1 Brick
4 bricks (16,000 notes) = 1 cash-pack
40 cash-packs (640,000 notes) = 1 skid
The notes I posted are "partial ladders".
Near miss would be something like 6543 210X OR X654 3210 etc

I am continuously amazed at what folks will do to achieve there goals in collecting. Since the odds of running into "Chcu / unc fancy SN's" is rather slim how do you propose folks find the numbers for their collection's? |

That would depend on a person's definition of "fancy" Ceylon.....
Personally, I don't find anything whatsoever "fancy" about the two numbers that Nick mentioned...... It amazes me that anyone would pay ten cents over face for them, but I guess that Nick knows that there are folks who will buy anything.

Nick sent me a pm regarding those sales. Only thing I can think of is that they had 4 leading zero's along with "partial ladders". Fwiw, A few days back I lost an auction for a fancy sn. Nick was surprised how high I bid and lost. When I went back and looked at it again - the mathematical odds of that number (combination of numbers) was 1 in a million plus.  |

That is interesting, but I am not a numbers person.
Could this one in a million thing not be said for virtually any number though?
for instance, what are the odds of a number like C538702645D ?
I can understand all 7s or 7070707070 or 12344321..... but a bunch of zeros and then four other numbers?

Like I said before, some people with buy anything... edited to add: And what about that 7070707070 note? I think that there are 10 digits there, so would not the value factor be multiplied as well? Yeah, I get in a hurry sometimes and this key board doesn't know how to compensate for it. Edited by zeewool
