There was at least one billion (and possibly two or more billions) of this stamp issued, there will always be some shade variation with such a large quantity. Plus it has been 80 years now and the carmine/rose family is not an especially stable one. |

LONEDAN, I don't see any trace of blue in your stamp. To be a Lake or Carmine Lake shade, you'd have to see some blue. If you have a 219D, compare the two. 219D is a lake shade. This of course, is based on the scan. If you see blue in the actual stamp, then you could have Bill Weiss give you an opinion.  |

If you must send it in Gator is correct. Bill Weiss is the stamp man to go to. |

color seems hard to see in a photo online...and color is an important part of stamp collecting at times....but it never hurts to ask questions...never stop asking even if it may seem a silly question at times... |
