Stutter Ladder Notes?

Never heard that term, but none of these would be keepers for me.

Hi Vince, Reviewing a lot of opinions on the subject, some people might like to apply the word ladder also to stuttering ladders like you have such as 11234445 or even something like 11245779 with missing digits...as you see there the first problem with using the same term "ladder" is that people start to apply it to all sorts of things and eventually winds up covering almost anything if you're not careful, all of which are slightly similar to a perfect ladder like 012345678, 12345678, 23456789, or descending 87654321 and 76543210 mostly, and perhaps 98765432 back when it used to be printed.

Yes casual collectors out there may indeed want something like that for their private collection or willing to spend money on impulse because they think something is cool, and therefore can sell at a premium on places like ebay. So go for it since these are in great condition, but at some point a collector has to draw the line and so serious collectors will have done so and wont usually be interested in that type of note, and neither will dealers or grading companies. Otherwise there would be ladder progressives as some people would consider A00012345A or D00034567A to be a ladder or 67890000 with multiple zeros to be a ladder..ladderish numbers with random zeroes thrown in, as 34050678. Its no surprise those like coinfrog and steveintampa therefore would have no interest and call it a spender :) while others might simply like to collect such interesting serial numbers.

Great reply @datadragon. I agree - spenders.

Stuttering ladder, 3 of a kind, trinary, cool index factor are all meaningless. BUT some people collect them, I wouldn't . Serial number collectors are the new way some collectors want to get rich quick, after the errors found were all road rashed cents and weren't worth anything. I'm with coin frog, there isn't any of these I would take for over face value. But datadragon likes them he may buy them off of you.

Thanks again for all your input. I always followed the rules of currency collecting BUT like Stevefromtampa and Datadragon said, there are people who will buy it for a small premium. So why not cater to those groups while maintaining my own "real" collection?

This is my bill closest to a full ladder.
