  • Serial: 18515629

  • Digits Present: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9 (6 unique digits).

  • Pattern Analysis: Contains non-repeating mixed digits with multiple pairs/scatters (1, 5). It does not meet any fancy collector definitions (not a radar, repeater, binary, trinary, ladder, or low/high serial).

• Mule Check: Normal (Not a Mule / Non-Mule)

  • Back Plate: 311

  • Analysis: Series 1981 reset the back plate sequence to #1. A back plate numbered 311 is a native Series 1981 plate from the first year of production. A "1st Print Mule" for Series 1981 requires an old 1977A 4-digit back plate (generally numbers 2700 through 3200+).
