<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1468924, member: 19065&quot;]To be honest - it&#039;s just another irrational aspect of collector behavior. Humans are quite adept at spotting and tend to enjoy identifying patterns, groupings and such things that stand out from all the others. All those other unique SNs which are not repeating, ladders, binary, etc. are less dynamic looking and do not stand out as much from the greater design of the face of the note to our eyes as do solids which easily leap out at us. </p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, colors of red to brown on copper coins isn&#039;t at all special, tone on coins is a full spectrum and humans have varying degrees of color blindness (particularly males), tone is utterly random as to when and how it forms, stops changing and the colors it takes on, and while appealing to some, really it&#039;s just a trendy (it wasn&#039;t always popular, and isn&#039;t popular in all countries) and subjective feature of a coin collecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>We could come up with a list of all kinds of things about collecting and collectors that defies logic or are invented to make more out of a hobby and it&#039;s objects than is necessary to appreciate and maintain the hobby. However we may feel about this or that, there is something out there for everyone and if we don&#039;t like it or understand it, it just means it&#039;s not what floats our boat and we can focus on something else instead that does.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that helps shed some light on fancy SNs by putting them in the context of other aspects of numismatics. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
