When do repeating numbers start to bring premiums?

    I have accumulated lots of notes through searching with serial numbers that have 4 of the same number in a row. I was wondering if these would bring any premium, or if there needs to be more than 4 in a row to do that. Most of the notes that i have that are like this are unc to lightly circulated, and maybe a few heavily circulated. So would these bring premiums? (I'm guessing if so only the higher grades would) or should i just toss em back and look for 5 or more and starts, ladder, etc.

    As always much thanks!

    Posting a pic would help! But generally speaking interesting sets of numbers
    Such as repeaters or radars will bring a nice premium and others if
    There deemed rare 4 numbers in a row wouldnt fall in to that caragory
    Unless there was something that people would find extraordinary!

    Cant get scan right now but an example would be like A59111137A or B66668529L

    Yup, unless you have a binary repeater like: 44441111 then it might be worth something.
    Or if it was a radar as well, like: 11444411

    Otherwise, I'd spend it.

    edit: heres my only example of a note I've kept that has repeating numbers.
    But it's because it has 5, plus another of the same number also in the serial

    If there was just another 2 in place of the 5 :) "Great poker hand" !!

    Just picked this up at a show today, since it looked rather nifty:

    And it only cost me $5, so even six-in-a-row doesn't seem to bring more than a very small premium.... (The scan looks nicer than the note; it's no better than VF.)

    Does this qualify as any type of "fancy serial"? I'm new at this and just started paying attention.

    L62006000C

    I also picked these two up at work today

    L80880880C

    C08766666A

    The second one will definitely bring a few extra bucks. Eights are considered lucky in certain Asian cultures. How much more would depend on condition. If the serial number had been a radar, it would be substantially higher.

    The last note is a partial descending ladder number. It might bring a few extra dollars. Again, condition is everything.

    They are all VFish, it's hard to find nice ones at work.

    So the first one I might as well use to buy a better note? Thank you for your help and advice btw

    Is it worth keeping stars in the same condition? Would they command any premium at all? I found one yesterday

    I replaced the 62006000 note today with 50064444, I liked the 4 4's. I'll probably replace it too though given the chance.

    since we are on the topic is there a premium for this note? Is there a guide book for stuff like this?

    Very nice! I'd keep that one. I would guess in UNC. it would run about $75- $100. IMO.
