MAC JIM - thanks for your suggestion but my text setting was not "enlarged" - turns out that in Apple world, selecting "bold" will qualify as a reason to drop off the last 3 digits of the serial number even though bold only means darker in color/more contrast in the real world & should not be interpreted as constituting an enlargement in text size - after 30 minutes on apple chat,they finally figured out that was the culprit - hope this saves someone else some time in trouble shooting should they have the same experience - I did point out this irrational outcome in comments in the link the chat person provided me -

What do you find missing from your serial number? If the text size is too large, try reducing it to see the full number.

Glad you got it figured out. There is no doubt that Bold text does take up more screen real estate. The character height does not change, but definitely the width. That is consistent with any text on a computer screen including when you bold characters here when posting.
