Here's another. The real beauty is that it doesn't matter which note you put first they work both ways since the serials are mirrors of each other.  |

My question is, how long did it take for someone to match these up?

My question is, how long did it take for someone to match these up? No clue. In fact it almost seems impossible to me. I contacted the seller before I bought them and asked how it was possible and this was the answer: Quote:
HI: My boss finds them. I guess he began collecting money over 20 years
ago. He also has a busy business that has owned for years. He has to go
through the money every day for deposits (boring), so he decided to make a
game of it. It didn't hurt that he really likes numbers--real math whiz.
He'd pull certain interesting serial numbers to save. He saved a LOT of
serial numbers & over the years matches got to be easier to find. It also
got to be easier to buy matches (at money shows) for notes he had. I can't
imagine his database...it must be huge. Thanks for your interest. Susan. |

You have definitely got some very interesting stuff there Nickelman. I know of a few people who dabble in same serial numbers, and it baffles me as to how they do it. Possibly they buy BEP sets? The two note radars are equally mind blowing though, and I would have not the faintest idea how this is accomplished. 'Very' neat stuff though.

Very cool. I wonder what the odds are? Then to have several of them! It must take going through a mountain of straps to find such things. I figure whoever does so uses a database program of some sort to come up with all the typical things, repeats, ladders, radars etc. for a given serial number range. A little record keeping and you could track matching numbers too. But opposing radars like you have would be sheer luck to find. And happenstance usually pays well.

Matching fancies? Sure they will. I got this note strictly because it is a combination dual mini solid / mini reverse ladder (66)0(55)8(65)  Edited by zeewool

This one is a mini offset ladder (33)(444)790. Very rare to have a mini offset.  |

You know, I just noticed that 'all' of my notes are 'fancies'....this one is a mini radar / mini ladder (71071)237 / 7107(123)7. What really adds value to this note is how that '1' is used with both the radar and the ladder thingies.  |

Here is one of my favorite 'fancies'.....a seven digit micro solids. (1)(5)(2)(3)(8)(4)(9). Extremely hard to find micro solids.  |

Quote:Apparently it only takes 4 digits to have "fancy" matching serial numbers these days: http://cgi.ebay.com/2004A-2003A-10-...em415128fedfEvery bit as valuable as a partial ladder. /sarcasm Still no takers... my two matching near solids are safe so far... |
