JosephScopio888 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm new to all of this. Just became a member 2 days ago. would a serial number such as " 54545478 " be considered a repeater or does the whole number have to play out as 54545454?

Fenntucky Mike Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Welcome to the Forum, Yes, I believe the whole number has to repeat. It doesn't have to be just two numbers repeating though it could be something like 123123123, it needs to be a minimum of two numbers repeating at least twice. Here's a link to recognized Fancy #'s by PMG. https://www.pmgnotes.com/news/article/5901/Fancy-Serial-Numbers-On-Currency/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddr70 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) There's a slight variation on the PMG rule (at least, they won't annotate repeater unless it's at least 6 digits total). Here's what they say: Repeater Serial Number--This serial number will repeat. The minimum number of digits that need to repeat is two (IE: 121212). Likewise, the minimum times the sequence needs to repeat is two (IE: 12341234). <--based on 'repeat is two' 1212 ought to be a repeater, right? Nope. Two examples, the Baltimore $5 gets the note "Repeater Serial Number", however, the Portland note doesn't (it ought to be a binary repeater in my opinion). 4 digits apparently isn't enough and there's no way to get a 5 digit repeater, so a min. of 6 digits.

ddr70 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 But 4 digits is good enough for a solid! (actually I've seen 3 for a Silver Certificate)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
