2¢ Parks Changing Color
|
Shades of
this stamp lately observed would
indicate that in the late printings, this stamp is gradually assuming
the
carmine hue customarily seen in the 2¢ denomination. The
first
printings of the stamp were in a dull brick red, and similar to the 9¢
stamp of the same series, but the color appears to have been deepened
and
it will be of interest to watch further printings. The change
may
or may not be intentional, but it is definite.
