shonit123 Valued Member Canada 212 Posts	Posted 01/14/2014 01:53 am the reason I thought is was a keeper is because the numbers rose by increments of 111 Report this Post to the Staff
AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 01/14/2014 11:51 am While I am very impressed at how you can find relationships within certain numbers I have to say that with regret most serial numbers that are of interest are the following: solid: AAAAAAA repeater: ABCABCA or a variant thereof ladder: 1234567 or variant thereof radar: ABCACBA or variant thereof Report this Post to the Staff
jg86 Pillar of the Community Canada 686 Posts	Posted 01/14/2014 3:35 pm shonit - I presume you are good with numbers. I'm a statistician, and have noticed patterns with numbers that no one else sees ever since I can remember. If you can't remember Ag's advice above, just remember that if you have to ask if something's a spender, it is. I can find something interesting (or a near miss of something interesting) about virtually every serial number out there. Report this Post to the Staff
AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 01/14/2014 5:03 pm This question of spender/keeper pops up a bit and I don't mind answering it to help someone out... but I prefer to educate what makes for a keeper.... So I don't mind chiming in once in awhile but would hate to do it.. if the guy had a brick or two.. LOL Report this Post to the Staff
