These two notes are both in the same condition, they both come from full runs of ten million notes and both are radars that have rather nice serial numbers.
One is strictly a radar note where the other is a radar and repeater.
Which would you choose and in your view is one worth more then the other? TIA.

Cheers, Bill

I'd choose the first.
It's both radar and repeater.
Not only that it's almost a SWIMS.
The second note is just kind of meh, not something I would be interested in buying, only something worth keeping if found.

If you have to choose just one, I will go with the first one.

I own both these notes and will be keeping both for now.
I good friend who also collects was looking at some of my collection and he preferred the HNF6554556 over the other even at the same price (he commented it was a cooler number).
His opinion was that four digit repeaters had little to no value to collectors.
So I thought I'd ask others and see how they felt.

Cheers, Bill

For eye appeal, the first one.
For value, the second.
Best choice, both.

When you turn the first bill upside down, the number is still a radar. Much cooler.

I agree with you TerryT, although not a swims or rotator it's still cool that it reads as a radar when inverted even if it's a different number.

Cheers, Bill

I would keep both but if it can be only one, the top one.
