Advise, what to do?

Hello group. I live across the street from a typical lil convenience store and ive gotten to know they guy at the counter ok.. Since we both handle lots of greene weve been kinda workin together, lookin for cool stuff, etc . My jaw dropped a little when he layed these 2 out in front of me. Both are 2013 $5, one solid 3's and the other, seven 8s and one 6. They both are pretty nice but not totally unc.
Im a COIN guy, not a CURRENCY guy. Some feedback from yall paper chasers would be great!!! Assuming my intent was to sell these, would yall grade them? Would they bring that much more if graded? If you can judge by the pics, any opinions on grade? A very similar $5 solid 3s recently sold for around $450 ish on ebay recently. I know the 8s with a 6 would be less but is still cool....any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!

The 88888868 is a almost fancy serial #
Spender

The 33333333 is a full solid serial #
Lovely!

The folds take away from the value. But the value is only determined by what a collector is willing to pay for the solid serial #

 

I would think that a 7 of a kind would still command a small premium

 

Nah.. That 1 number that is different ruins it.
But it's made out to be desirable on ebay and I think it is silly IMHO

 

WOW! Keep them... Those are amazing bills and they will sell for a premium...

 

Oh really? And how do you know this?

 

Keep it in your pocket for that poker game people play with paper money.

 

Solid serial #'s sell for high premiums especially to serious collectors... I'm just starting my bill collection and you're probably right about me not knowing about these... I just got a $2 bill from 1976 with the serial number 33555226

 

I agree with the solid serial # presented but not the almost solid.

I don't think 33555226 is any kind of fancy or cool serial # in my opinion. Sorry.

I know that website very well. I don't totally agree with their "Cool serial #" theory.. I think that website is silly.

 

Whenever you play dollar bill poker, ALWAYS collect all the bills that will be played from each player and give them to the bartender to exchange for different bills out of the cash register. That is the only way to keep the game honest.

 

I once sold a 6-of-a-kind $1 bill for $2.50 on eBay!

PROFIT

 

The solid 3’s is awesome. I always wonder how it would get so much circulation before someone noticed the serial number. The 7-of-a-Kind is also cool.

 

So I know these both have a premium. The complicated part is that the guy at the quicky mart across the street looks out for things ive told him to then i either buy or we sell and divide up...So these arent 100% mine to start. An identical $5 solid 3s bill sold recently on Ebat for @$450. But im not proficient in grading bills and am not sure if having mine graded would bring a premium? Or it wouldnt matter much since it is lightly circulated. The one with all 8s and one 6, i compared to others and they do bring a premium but not as much. But again, would it be worth it to grade? Appreciate the comments!!!!

 

I was thinking these exact same thing!!!

 

Probably not worth to grade. It would only bring super value if it was a 63+ grade

 

Thats what I was really curious about. The notes that seem to sell for thousands I notice are in the mid ti high 60s. But at that, I have little to no experience grading currency.

Off of the pics, is it possible to get opinions on what grade these WOULD be?

Also, with coins, value often increases over time for many of the most desirable pieces. Would that apply to these type of notes? Does the value on these tend to increase?
Thanks again!!!

 

Probably in the 35-45 range, tough to tell from pics.

if you want To wait 50 years and will still be alive, it may be worth a couple dollars more. No time like the present
