Shade Varieties Of The 2c Green and 3c Carmine Rose Wilding Issue 1954-1963
Share
The next two stamps in this series have fewer shades than the others. However, there are a few that are very distinct:
On the 2c value the following shades are found:
1. Bright green 2. Green 3. Light dull green (usually on the high plates 11-20 and the cello-paqs.) 4. Dull green (usually on the high plates 11-20 and the cello paqs.) 5. Deep green (usually on the low plates 1-9)
On the 3c value:
1. Carmine 2. Carmine rose 3. Deep carmine
On this value, the carmine rose shade is almost a bright cerise. It seems to be found usually on the earlier printings. The later printings and tagged stamps seem to mostly be either carmine or deep carmine.
