The listing, THREE (3) VARIED $1 BILL SERIAL LOT ~ Low # Star~ Moderate Semi-Repeater~ One "BINARY" style has ended.
I recently began a new avenue in my currency collecting by adding "Serial Number Runs" to it. One very common collecting area for all types of US currency is the pursuit of fancy serial numbers. The most often pursued of the fancy serial numbers are the very low (i.e. 00000062) and the very high (i.e. 99999302). It's interesting to note here that even though low serial numbers are more popular, high serial numbers are more rare because not every series reaches the high numbers.
Star Notes have a special serial number produced when notes are destroyed because of production errors. Star notes have an asterisk (*) before or after the serial number. The purpose of the star note is to maintain the correct count of notes in a serial number run without reproducing the serial number.
Other commonly pursued serial numbers are:
Ladder - a sequence of ascending or descending digits - 12345678 or 8765432
Solid and Near Solid - all or almost of the digits are the same - 66666666 or 11111101
Repeater - a sequence of digits that repeats itself - 12312312 or 34343434
Binary - consisting of only two digits in any combination - 11333113 or 52222555
Birthday - part or all of a date embedded the number - 19431111 or 09141941
With this present offering to get someone started in this type of collecting, Bill #1 is a LOW SERIAL NUMBERED STAR NOTE: 00050258*. (Considering that bills can run as high as ninety-nine million, fifty-thousand IS low :)
Bill #2 is a Moderately Low Semi-Repeater with Five 5s and just a bit over one-half million: 00555655.
Bill #3 is a BINARY with Ones and Sixes, Including SIX 6s: 16666166.
This type of collecting is really fun and I hope this becomes a good start for someone interested in adding this style to their collecting!!!
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS TO MAKE THIS SUCH A GREAT PLACE!!!
