My understanding is that it is not a radar. All those I have ever seen have been the last 6 digits, not the first. Goatie for clarification?

Here we go...that is NOT a radar!! Okay, number 1: Can you read this? If you are you're reading from left-to-right...yeah? (some Arabic, Indian & Asian countries read the other way...but as I said if you're reading this you understand) As for our system of prefixes, here goes (All with fictional letters/numbers: PRE-DECIMAL1913-1914: A 010203 (one letter) 1915-1923: A 010203 B (one letter before & one letter after) 1923-1954: A1 010203 or B12 010203 (one letter with one/two numbers) 1954-1966: AB01 010203 (two letters & two numbers) DECIMAL1966-POLYMER: ABC 010203 (three letters) POLYMER: AB12 010203 (two letters & two numbers) As you all know I'm a huge fan of radars. The longer the more special it is. I have a few polymers which are 7-digit, but some people might not consider them as radars...I do because it starts with a 0 (zero). I guess I see a zero as a nothing (not included unless it needs to be, as in current 8-digit radars, end/star numbers). If there's 7 numbers, then why not chase a harder radar, if there's 8 numbers chase that too. Six digit radars will always be considered the standard radar, but just keep the others in mind because the longer the radar, the harder is to find & the scarcer it is.    |

Does serial number EG 09 559082 qualify as "radar"? Only if you cut out the parts of the note that have 82 on them.  I sent the seller this message: "Sorry to say this note is NOT a Radar. For it to be a 6 digit radar the FINAL 6 digits must read the same backwards as they do forwards, so, it's worth exactly $50.00." I'll let you know if there's any response. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Coinmantim; I'm pretty sure it cost around $200 a few years ago. It's one of my favourites 1949 & in aEF condition. It was a great buy because others just saw it as a £5 note.
Nancy; you might get a reply in: Arabic, Indian or Asian.

Hi thanks for taking the trouble to tell me your bit of trivia. What its worth is no real concern of YOURS is it. Just another Rip off merchant, hoping to 'catch' some unaware person. Oh well, what more can be said, there is none so blind as he who will not see.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

I had a feeling the seller knew exactly what they were doing & as I said before they need a public flogging,no laughing this time.

Thanks for confirmation everyone.
Nancy,
Is that one worthy of being added to your list?

And, if confirmation is required, the terse (if not downright rude) reply to Nancy should do that. You upset him Nancy by saying it is worth exactly $50  . He has already spent about $2 on listing so it is now down to $48! If he had any confidence in the value of it he would have started it at 99¢ and saved some listing cost. Jeff |

I checked all his sold items before I sent the message, just in case he made a mistake, but no mistake, he knows exactly what he's got, and is just hoping to catch someone in his trap. No morals, no conscience.  If anyone buys it, I might be able to send a message to the buyer, and will expose him for the fraudster that he is, but I get the feeling that a collector of Banknotes should know exactly what a RADAR is, and won't fall for this misleading listing.  It's a 30 day listing and I'm watching it, so I'll just wait and see what happens. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Not sticking up for him, but 99c start on a radar note does not sound like a good idea.
Several radar notes ($50s and a $20) have sold right on (or below) face value, after listing fees, final value fees, paypal fees, time it takes to list, trip to the post office, these people have come out far behind.
They would have been better off spending the money.

None of his listings are auctions, all BIN's.
