I found this note yesterday in the cash register. I consider it a RADAR-BOOKENDS note. I'm almost sure there is no premium attached but I think I will save it since it's FV is low.

I collect bookends with the serial number 12.

No disrespect intended, but "radar bookends" sounds like an ebay term.

Are you calling it "radar-bookends" because 11 is the same forward & backwards?

This is just a bookend. It's not Radar if the whole note isn't a radar. Bookends can be 2 or 3 digit. 2 digit are common 1 in 100 3 digit are slightly less common at 1 in 1000 (give or take a few) There isn't much of a premium on them but in cu someone would probably pay $3 for them. the 12000012 is also sometimes called Trinary (3 digits used) but is also cool for someone who fancies that number. I bet if you listed it for $12 you may eventually find the right buyer.

Just realized the 12000012 was a different member. But I guess that proves my point that someone would pay more for that one.

Bookends don't go for much though. They are on the lower end of the price scale. Way more common than any other fancy numbers. Keep looking though, you may find something.
