[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 2280422, member: 11668"]I don't think he was agreeing with you: "I've seen all sorts of different coloring on all of them." Yes, there are some notes with a lot more blue tint than other notes. No, there are not two separate types, "blue tint" and "no blue tint". There's strong blue tint and faint blue tint and medium blue tint and hundreds of variations in between. Notes with more blue tend to be more desirable, but they're not a separate type/variety because there's no place you can draw a line between "blue" and "no blue". It's like, notes that are well-centered are more desirable than notes that are poorly centered, but nobody is going to try to assign separate catalog numbers to "well-centered 1869 $1" and "poorly-centered 1869 $1". What would that even mean? (The 1928 and 1934 "dark green seal" and "light green seal" notes are an example of what happens when the catalogs try to list such "varieties". Everybody knows that the light green is more valuable, but nobody can actually agree on what constitutes "light green" or "dark green", because [I]there are hundreds of shades of green, not two[/I].)[/QUOTE]
