So, there's probably a bunch of questions like these 

I searched the web, i can't find anything coherent 

i know there's patterns on the serial number, i don't know much more .. these ones do follow some patterns, just end my misery and lmk they are worth nothing :D

 

appreciate in advange, any help would be amazing 

They indeed have value, €50 each to be exact. Nothing to be seen except circulated bills … if you're very lucky you might still find a new collector who missed out on the old series notes and who might offer €1 extra for that one note …

Just call me Bram

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!

Just like to add that your most “promising” note is the older 2002 series (pictured @ bottom right). This L prefix (issued from Finland) with the “Draghi” (MD 2011-2016) signature  has only 4% of Numista users registering it. This means it is not quite as common as the German (X), Netherlands (P), Spanish (V) or or Italian (S) prefixes & so a Numista member may wish to swap you for it (if its VF or better).  There are much tougher nations (prefixes) to collect so it might not be that sought after.  I can't really comment on the condition since its difficult to ascertain from the pics. Many Euro collectors are strictly seeking AU - UNC (especially in the higher denominations).

Thank you to both of us, and I really appreciate that detailed info. It's actually quite hard to understand what's going on when researching online.
It only specifies the first series that sold for a lot of money. I noticed some patterns and asked.

I'm aware that 2002 would pbb be the most valuable (if it was rare), but I saw patterns on the others, and asked ..

They came straight from the bank, was actually quite surprised that they had a 2002 one.

Appreciate it, one more learning experience checked :)

No problem!


I am always amazed how much the Euro is trashed on social media (like Reddit). 

 

When I went to Ireland in 2004 (only 2 years after the original Duisenberg signature was issued) I could only find a few, like 1 out 5 had the scribbled “Duisenberg” signature & almost every note was a “Trichet” type (& X- German prefix). So, when I got back home, I was keen on picking  up a first signature on eBay but they never came up for sale.  

 

It was about 2010 (6 years later) that I began to see a few first signature Euros listed but they were double (or triple) the SCWPM Book Value.   Now I knew the catalogue was old the moment it was printed but paying 3X the BV just wasn't appealing. Anyway, I finally decided to cough up the exorbitant price a few of these sellers were asking (figuring I was paying speculative/future prices) & picked up a few.  Now, am glad I “bit the bullet.” However, I must say that I also bought a few PMG UNC gems for a steal (slightly more than what I paid for an uncertified UNC example) since a LOT of World collectors still snub them. 

 

I was also surprised to see that some of the "Draghi" 3rd signature varieties (from specific nations or with specific prefixes) are also tough (according to Numista's stats). They seem to be much harder to come by than the “Trichet” signature variety (for the most part). The Trichet were probably the longest lasting issue (thus far). Maybe “Lagarde” signature will also last long too.
