Is it rare for the FRONT PLATE to match the BACK PLATE exactly (D3-D3)?  EX:  |

What you have is the plate position number and the front plate number matching

I would really like to know the answer to my original question or at least a reason why the question could not be answered. Thanx

Sorry I missed the original post.
It's not unusual for the plate numbers to match towards the beginning of a series when the numbers are low. Once things get cranked up, further into the series, you rarely see it.

IMO: I have never witnessed large collector base interest in plate numbers unless:
a) they're absent or varied in colour/position (as was the case for the CDN Modified 1954 series $1/& some 1986 Birds series denominations respectively)
or
b) they indicate a "mule" or "WEB" banknote -which the BEP has produced.
Even then, the collector interest is far less enthusiastic than for: special/fancy serial numbers, replacements, test notes, change-over prefixes or errors.

I agree with walk2dwater. Front or Rear plate numbers are elements of the note but spark little interest unless deemed an error, like this BP129 engraving error.   |

The BP number (129) is engraved on the bottom left, whereas the correct placement should have been the bottom right...as noted on the holder.

Thanx guyz! I hope I didn't come off too bumptious. If so, it wasn't on purpose.  |
