I notice that the 24c issue of 1861-1868 gives a lot of buyers and sellers problems when it gees to identifying the numerous color varieties! I see gemon color varieties being confused with the scarce more expensive color varieties all of the time at online auction! Below I posted a chart of each of the listed colors. Please remember that each scanner and monitor shows the colors differently. Each stamp shown below IS a CERTIFIED example of the said color variety.
#70 Red Lilac #70a Brown Lilac #70b Steel Blue
#70c Violet #70d Pale Gray Violet #78 Lilac
#78a Grayish Lilac #78b Gray #78c Blackish Violet
I spend my time and write these guides to help the philatelic gemunity. I feel that my guides can help both buyers and sellers properly identify certain issues that I notice have been often misrepresented at online auction. Even If you personally already are familiar with the information presented in this guide please vote yes for helpfulness as it allows me to know that people support my effort to help the philatelic gemunity . I would appreciate any emails with questions or gements on how to better help with any of my guides. If anyone is considering buying a stamp that is mentioned in any of my guides and have doubts about authenticity please email me and I will be glad to help Best regards, Mike
