You will be very happy to know that these notes are quite rare and catalogue between CAD $900 - $1300 each in uncirculated condition.

I've seen recent posts here about the '54 $1 asterisk being worth 10-15 dollars, but wonder if a run of sequential serial numbers adds to the value?

Well, let me start by saying that you have some very nice (and valuable) notes. They are also worth alot more than $10 to $15. 1954 *N/Y Replacement notes in Unc condition have a high book value. I am going to list the price for AU-G.Unc condition the prices are from newest Charlton Catalogue (Paper Money Value Book). The price's listed below are for each note. As for sequential notes, some people will pay a premium for them and others will not it really depends on who the buyer is.

AU (Almost Uncirculated) =$550
Unc (Uncirculated) =$900
C.Unc (Choice Uncirculated) =$1,100
G.Unc (Gem Uncirculated) =$1,300

You can find the grading standards at this website: http://www.banknotecertification.com/ under "Grading Standards".

They belong to my father, and he wishes to sell them on eBay. 

Before your father puts these notes on eBay, why don't you list them for sale here on the forum? It is free and there are absolutely no fees.

Many of the major collectors peruse this forum, so I wanted to double up the support of putting a post up on the Trading Post.

Id suggest you acquire the most recent copy of Charlton Standard Catalogue for Canadian Government Paper Money 22nd Edition. Considering what you have the $15 should be a no-brainer investment.

This can be found at chapters, or indigo bookstores.
Please refer the the sticky (very 1st post) of the "What's It Worth" thread for more info.

There is also a very detailed grading guide within the catalogue.

From the scans, both fronts and backs, it appears these notes are original (embossing of serial numbers evident) UNC-60 notes (several counting flicks evident on scans) or at very least, choice AU. Ink smudges are irrelevant (probably offset ink). Catalogue value $900 each, with a likely price that can be realized of $750-800 each if they grade 60. No premium for consecutive notes but might make them easier to sell. If they are AU, catalogue is $550 each, with likely price of $425-475 each.
Unless you intend to begin collecting, I wouldn't bother with a catalogue.

My recommendation for a non-collector is to go to you local library for research, as they should have a copy of the Charlton Canadian Paper Money Guide to look at for FREE.   
It really does not matter if it is 1 or 2 years old, it still going to give you a good idea of the value of your items.

That way, you can see for yourself that the figures quoted here are within reason.

How i wish i was around back in the 70's to find such notes at face value!  Just one *N/Y is hard enough to find... but 4 is sequence... Wow!
The *N/Y was one the asterisk that was well undervalued for awhile. They continue to do quite well in terms of value. I think using a charlton cat. should be good enough in determining the grade. Also you might want to hang onto them for as long as you can because i think the value of these notes will continue going up.
If you do decide to sell them you should have no problem finding a buyer but try selling them as a set of 4 at a specific price first.
