Hello everyone!
In America, I heard a BOOKENDS NOTE such as 8500085.
Is it fancy serial number?
What do you call this note in Canada?
Thanks for reading.
-
Are there any more bookend notes you can show us?
To me its just a fancy number... :-/
-
A bookends note would be a note on each side of a radar numbered note. Some people collect sets of three each bookend and the radar.
5508054 - Bookend
5508055 - radar
5508056 - Bookend
-
So bookend is just another word for shoulder notes I presume...?

8500084 and 8500086 are not radars. :-? What would the radar be for 8500085?

Yes that's right.

I guess this could be considered a repeating number or a fancy number or a 3 digit number.
I would just call it a nice number maybe even a fancy number.

Agreed, 8500058 is just a fancy number. The note would only be a bookend/shoulder note if the serial number was 8500059 or 8500057. In my opinion

speeking of bookend I just found this on ebay and bought it now for $25

I don't have a picture about a bookends note.
For example, there is follow numbers.
8500085 ---> 85 000 85
1200012 ---> 12 000 12
0600006 ---> 06 000 06
7000070 ---> 70 000 70
....
They are not a radar or shoulder note.
Think meaning of BOOKEND. :)
-
ok ya I see what you mean now ;) but must people think of bookend notes and the other sides of radars. ;D Do you have notes with the numbers above? very nice on what notes?
-
By looking at the other examples that royhah gave us. I think the first two and the last two numbers must be the same and the middle numbers must all be 0s to be bookends notes.

The term "bookends" AKA "shoulder notes," is usually known as Gary_T described: two notes the 1 before and after the radar, for consecutive note collectors. Bookends always come in pairs (just like the real bookends)-- not singularly.

Think meaning of BOOKEND
I've never heard of bookend serial numbers, which seems to be the concept you are introducing here (a note which stands on its own merits). To me, this is a non-sequiter, since the logic of applying a bookend concept to a single note does not follow.
Occassionally, I've heard the "8500085" referred to as a "repeater" since the number 85 is repeated and there is symmetry in the note. Hence 7000070 would be a 2 digit repeater, whereas a 0700070 is a two digit radar. Typically the premium for a 2 digit repeater is less than the premium for a 2 digit radar because there's less symmetry in a repeater (yet both are valued for their unique numbers).

Refer to a follow site please. :)

I have seen "bookends" take the same meaning as "shoulder notes"
ie: the radar 5678765 has 2 bookends, 5678764 and 5678766. Just an observation.
