Scott 64 1861 US Stamp

I have these two stamps, am comfortable that they are Scott 64, stamps issued in 1861. As you can see, they aren't in great shape, but my question is, what color are they? Scott lists pink, pigeon blood pink, and rose pink. Again, I am pretty sure they aren't the pigeon blood pink (very rare, and I think that would be a very deep pink) so give me some help - pink or rose pink? Thanks

Sara tells me I'm certifiable......but I guess that doesn't count here.

Thanks nr-notrare for posting your certified colors of 64 and 65. I've been looking for a good color examples, especially of the pigeon blood pink. I've a few pinkish copies of this issue and could not even begin to ID them. I also have a very brownish one but can't seem to find it for now. If I find it in a within reasonable period of time, I'll post a photo.

You're welcome......these rose/pinks are really not easy to id on good days.....especially when stamps are faded/dirty/canceled.....also, lighting can be an issue.......as we age our eyes do not always see color properly and monitors do not show colors exactly as they should. When these things are combined it's almost impossible to ascertain which color you have. If you find a few you think might be the higher value types I'd get a bunch of opinions from reliable sources and then decide whether or not to send them to the APS for a certificate. Once certified it's much easier to sell them for decent values......and I would not buy one that was not already certified. Auction/listing photos can be manipulated very easily and I've seen quite a few listed as #64's that are very obviously not the right color.

beautiful stamps, Tom!

That's gotta be the most interesting name for a color...

Thanks T......

......but these belong to a friend who very kindly let me post them.....sure do wish they were mine.

Thanks for the most helpful info!

Tom I have the same problem that is looking through 58 year old eyes that need new glasses
Nice # 64 mate I usually get the # 64 mixed up with the #56 and #65 as I still can't tell the difference
