#1) you cannot compare the last Coyne Towers L/E prefix with the first A/E prefix with the short Osborne Towers signature. There are many more World collectors who seek first prefixes & the prefix was in use for 17 years while the L/E prefix was at the end of the 1937 series (likely came out in 1953) & were probably stashed away in SDB in runs (like the ones you're considering). Whenever one series ends people tend to hoard the last of that series.
#2) Sequential runs are a coin collector's thing (I guess) as I constantly see comments about the way notes are issued. There's very little fanfare (premiums paid) for sequential serial #s by most paper $ collectors I know since that's the way they come (unless errors, special # or some other significance)
#3) Yes, they're collectible (esp if they're truly AU or UNC) & have not been processed (flattened). Hopefully they've been stored properly & there's no issues.
#4) Charlton is a guide which provides a ballpark figure. There can be many factors which influence how much the note will sell for. I usually look for a discount when I buy multiple notes (& would only want consecutive if they're from a tough signature like Osborne, etc).
