Did you find them together or come across them separately?

Not a pro here so I typed in the search box to the left of the page because I thought a radar note read the same from right to left and left to right. Your note starts 83 and ends 84,and the other note starts 48 and ends 38.In order for it to be a radar note it would have to read 83000038 or 84000048 & 48000084 or 38000083.Am I right or am I missing something here?Always willing to learn

You are correct John, but these notes are so close that it causes a second look for sure. Very neat, and I am also sure that many a folk would find them desirable. Maybe not true radars, but false returns.

It took me a second and third look to figure it out; if you read the numbers consecutively (as if the S/N had 16 numerals) it would be a "RADAR" 83000084 48000038.
Unusual find nonetheless.

For those of you that figured it out congrats! Yes together they make a radar pair. I had never heard of such a thing in my short time looking for fancys, but when I saw them I had to buy them. Yes folks I got them on ebay  |

I am sort of slow, well, actually 'very' slow it seems. I 'never' would have made the connection. Very interesting and leads me to ponder the possibilities, that if enough notes were connected in this way, an unlimited amount of repeaters, radars, etc could be achieved. Congratulations (I guess), on this interesting revelation. Nickelman, you kill me.  |

Here's another. The real beauty is that it doesn't matter which note you put first they work both ways since the serials are mirrors of each other.  |

My question is, how long did it take for someone to match these up?

HI: My boss finds them. I guess he began collecting money over 20 years
ago. He also has a busy business that has owned for years. He has to go
through the money every day for deposits (boring), so he decided to make a
game of it. It didn't hurt that he really likes numbers--real math whiz.
He'd pull certain interesting serial numbers to save. He saved a LOT of
serial numbers & over the years matches got to be easier to find. It also
got to be easier to buy matches (at money shows) for notes he had. I can't
imagine his database...it must be huge. Thanks for your interest. Susan. |

I guess I may as well post the other set I got from this seller:  |

You have definitely got some very interesting stuff there Nickelman. I know of a few people who dabble in same serial numbers, and it baffles me as to how they do it. Possibly they buy BEP sets? The two note radars are equally mind blowing though, and I would have not the faintest idea how this is accomplished. 'Very' neat stuff though.

Very cool. I wonder what the odds are? Then to have several of them! It must take going through a mountain of straps to find such things. I figure whoever does so uses a database program of some sort to come up with all the typical things, repeats, ladders, radars etc. for a given serial number range. A little record keeping and you could track matching numbers too. But opposing radars like you have would be sheer luck to find. And happenstance usually pays well.
