Hey Zeil,

Great find. Can I request you to share on piece of information about your bank note. There is two digit number along the right edge of the back of the note almost at the bottom. Can you share that number with us. Is it 54 by any chance?

Thx

The small number you're speaking of is called the plate number.. on the poly's they're the same for both the front and back (FPN & BPN)

What's the significance if the FPN is #54?

If you can afford to keep it, by all means.

For sth that's a radar (1/1000) and that's UNC, definately keep. If you feel bad about the $50 sell it and you will immediately profit. This is my logic.

Some people like some serial numbers better than others, so since it's radar, there's always some market for it.

Some of the position numbers in the AH- and AM- series have truncated A or M or H in the left prefix.

Although the image is not clear it seemed that Left stem of A on the 2nd A in the Left prefix is a bit shorter. I have noticed that it happens for position number 54.

Here is a picture showing that

Thx for verifying.

On the AM- and AH- $50 notes there are certain position numbers in certain serial number ranges where I have noted that the letters are with shortened stems. This particularly happens in the Left Side Numbers and generally affects the A but also the M and H.

In the AMA range it seems that position number 54 is more likely to be affected.

Here is a photo of an example. It is true that ink can be removed from the prefix number but if you see the close up image you can see the typical outside and the inside edges that are typical in any prefix. Where a prefix is tampered with you will not see the two edges.

In a brick of 1000 continuous notes there will be one radar. This is easy to verify. Lets say there was note that had a number starting with 6898---. The last three digits represent a 1000 notes in sequence. So between 6898000 and 6898999 there is one and only one number that can be radar and that is 6898986.

Whether something is a 1 digit, 2 digit 3 digit or 4 digit radar is dictated by its "lineage" i.e. the first 4 numbers.

Thanks for pictures and explanation Paisa! This is really interesting. I didn't know this fact. Will be checking all my $50 notes tom now on :) Is it true only for AMA? Is there any value in that?
