Fancy Serial & Mule Evaluation

• Fancy Serial Status: Scattered Digits (Normal Serial Number)

  • Digits Present: Contains 6 unique digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9).

  • Pattern Analysis: It features a repeating 5 and 9 near the tail, but does not fit standard collectible fancy serial categories (radar, repeater, binary, trinary, ladder, or low serial). It is cataloged numismatically as a normal / standard serial number.

• Mule Check: CONFIRMED MULE (Fr. 1914-Hm)

  • Back Plate: 305

  • Why It Qualifies: Back plate 305 is one of the 17 recognized transitional Series 1981 $\rightarrow$ 1981A mule plates (301, 305, 306, 416, 417, 674, 678, 679, 680, 697, 698, 699, 700, 701, 702, 705, 706).
