Having trouble identifying these 2 cents. They are perf 11 and don't or can't find any watermarks. The one on the left had some color transfer off (very little)after I soaked (in cool plain water) and pressed it ( between 2 white pieces of paper)with a scott catalog...None of the others had color transfer off.
The colors all seem different to me. I like the darker ones, of course always looking for a lake variety but still baffeled about which colors are which.

Left to right



This is the one that had some color that came off but still looks dark, and there is a F under his ear and some odd shading in the neck


Actually there is a F under most ears...

This one has sunken eyes and the lines are so vivid.

Military mail cancel

Sunken eye varaierty but lines not as vivid

Pink?...Rose...?

Light rose..?





And these were perf 12 but could not find watermark either...



I thought this post would be good and helpful to everyone to help figure colors and 2 cent Washington's. After I get a consensus I'll edit the post and put the colors and #'s under them for everyone

Based on the scans, #1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 appear to be flat plate Type I (Scott 499)in shades of rose from pale rose to reddish rose.
#3 and 5 appear to be offset print Type VA (Scott 528).
The perf 12 is single line wmk 190 (Scott 406).
The cancel on stamp #4 is the killer portion of a duplex handstamp with a 1921 year date.
