Would these serial numbers be worth anything?

Both bills are fairly crisp.

This one is a date: November 27th, 1908.

This one has a "mirrored" serial number: 3712-2173

Absolutely they're worth something. The first is what's considered a birthday note and will get you more than face. And it's oriented correctly! The second is what fancy serial collectors call a "radar" or palindrone. The last four numbers read exactly in reverse fashion as the first four. Nice bills with very little circulation.

 

Thanks. Too bad there's nobody still alive that was born in 1908 though. Haha.
