Ignoring the '07' for the year the note was printed, I would assume '957759' is a radar.

I think it is what you call a radar but I am not 100%, let's see what someone else has to say if it's a keeper or not, I don't know lol sorry.

I have one radar each of $50 and $100 notes.  Are they worth much more than face value?

not really bruce , unless they are unc .. and then still you cant get much for them ..
 if you sell them on ebay , you have to pay   9.9% on the total price not just the note
 I sold a $ 20.00 last week for $ 22.00 and had to pay ebay $ 2.03 cents , plus he paid by pp so that cost me more , so over all I lost out .. ,, kel ,,

Radars can often be valued higher than a standard unc note, I guess it depends on the buyers around at the time of sale.

 yea sure cosxp , but not by very much , just a little bit better than first prefix notes like AA , AND SO ON ..    ,, KEL ,,

I would happily pay $5 above face for a radar in VF and upwards in the $5-20 denoms. They just do it for me. I cant say why.

Likewise. Prices vary, from zero premium to quite a bit, depending on age and condition. Use the First/Last prefix prices as a guide.

I keep every radar that crosses my path, even though I don't expect to make a killing on them. One day things might change, and if enough people start collecting them, well, I might be rich after all.. ;)

After looking at some on ebay, they look to be a fairly high priced item to me.
Title: RE: Is this $20 note worth keeping or using?

UNC 8 digit radars can attract a nice premium. Even 6 digit UNC radars get good prices. Circulated notes usually don't.
