Looks like a 'spender' to me.

Better question is why do you suspect that it might be a keeper?

the reason I thought is was a keeper is because the numbers rose by increments of 111

While I am very impressed at how you can find relationships within certain numbers I have to say that with regret most serial numbers that are of interest are the following:

solid: AAAAAAA
repeater: ABCABCA or a variant thereof
ladder: 1234567 or variant thereof
radar: ABCACBA or variant thereof

shonit - I presume you are good with numbers. I'm a statistician, and have noticed patterns with numbers that no one else sees ever since I can remember. If you can't remember Ag's advice above, just remember that if you have to ask if something's a spender, it is. I can find something interesting (or a near miss of something interesting) about virtually every serial number out there.

This question of spender/keeper pops up a bit and I don't mind answering it to help someone out... but I prefer to educate what makes for a keeper.... So I don't mind chiming in once in awhile but would hate to do it.. if the guy had a brick or two.. LOL

If that would be the case the last digit would be a "4" not a zero.
