It has one of each number, but is not a ladder note.

Scrambled ladder. They normally don't command a premium.

I found a $1 note with a similar S/N. It took me 2 years to find a note with a "jumbled ladder" S/N. What are the odds of finding one?

Jumbled or scrambled ladder is an ebay hype term only. Serious collectors shake their heads when they see terms like these, just like they do when they see the term Trinary.

If you like it, keep it. To me it's just a random serial number with no collector value over face.

There are 120,960 such numbers, out of 100 million total possible numbers, which comes out to one such note in 826.7 (assuming 0-7, 1-8 and 2-9 are all allowable ranges but no others are allowed).

That said, in modern series, notes numbered from 96000000 up aren't supposed to circulate; there are 2160 "jumbled ladder" numbers in this range, so the rest has 118,800 out of 96 million (which is to say, approximately one in 808).

For comparison, this is (slightly over) 12 times more common than a radar (ABCDDCBA) or than a four-digit repeater (ABCDABCD), and (very close to) 3 times less common than a note one wrong digit away from a radar (or, equivalently, from a four-digit repeater).

I don't think I have ever found a "scrambled ladder" note. But these are probably easy to miss since the digits are not in order. I did find a radar note in circulation once. I believe the odds are 1 in 10,000.
