Potential Match — Verification Pending

Project 2013B maintains a separate reference page listing serial numbers associated with potential matched pairs where one or both co-owners have not yet responded to our email notification. These entries remain unconfirmed until photo verification is completed for both notes.

Collectors are encouraged to review this list to see whether a serial number they own appears. If your serial number is listed, you may be connected to a potential matched pair and your response could allow the pair to be officially confirmed and recorded in the Project 2013B registry.

If you believe you should have received a notification but do not see it in your inbox, please check your spam or junk mail folder. Project 2013B notifications are occasionally filtered by email providers.

The full list is available at the Pending Verification List.

  • Tip: Check the Pending Verification List regularly.
  • Tip: Verify your email or spam settings to ensure you receive notifications.
  • Tip: Respond promptly if your serial number appears to help confirm the matched pair.
