I was wondering if a two digit radar for $20 is approx $85, what would two of the same serial radar worth? any premium if selling as a set?

I know some people collect matching serial numbers (as do I ) so if you get the right person you may get a few bucks more for the set...In the notes above the fact that they are EF and not UNC obviously may be an issue to those that only collect UNC notes as opposed to circulated ones...the one thing the above 2 notes have going for them is that they are both near solid 6's which may interest some collectors as well...Still, finding matching numbers is not easy and I believe there has to be of some extra value...OMO...others will probably disagree... nice find if they are yours..

EGR prefix?  Did you mean ERG?

The odds of finding 1 matching serial number are the same as finding the XXXXXX1 note. Not easy.

I think find that finding a matching serial number in no way compares to finding a number 1 note....I have found many serial number matches, but not many #1 notes :(

I know what you mean, but I would put my money on someone finding a matching serial number before I would on them finding a #1 note....:).....but then I never was a big gambler..

The odds of finding a match to a specific number is the same as finding a #1 note. The odds of finding a match to any of the notes in that brick you set aside last week are significantly better.

I think that 2-digit radars are individually worth a significant premium over face value on their own due to their inherent popularity and scarcity, so putting sets of them together does not increase their value.  On the other hand, the catalogue values of 3- and 4-digit radars are so depressed that putting notes together to make special sets would add to their appeal and boost their value, even if only slightly.
