2 C Washington #358 Bluish Paper

Hi!
Some of my #354 bluish paper stamps. Maybe not the bunch...
I know this is a rare variety of A139.
The first one in row one is no doubt a 354. Thanks everybody!

Maybe bottom center as well? It could just be a lighting anomaly or scanner/camera artifact? Hard to say without seeing it in hand or high resolution scan.

I love stamps... They look much better in hand. Thanks! I will try to improve my images.

Hard to say from the pics., but I don't think any are on bluish paper. If you have an orange or dark yellow piece of paper, lay the stamp face down on that paper. If the stamp paper is bluish, it will appear as a gray or bluish-gray color when up against the orange/yellow background.

I concur with Al E.
His suggestion of using orange paper is one of the only ways I can tell the difference; with images/scans/pictures it is simply impossible to really tell for sure.

I was at a recent Washington/Franklin discussion where the presenter brought some "bluish" paper samples. These were VERY easy to see, even from the front on a white background. When two are held side-by-side, it was even easier to tell.

I don't think you're even close on these, but if you look at them from the back, with an orangeish paper behind, I think you have the best chance. Be sure to look at a normal sample and the bluish in the same frame.

I would love to see a real one in person.

I will do the paper one, thanks everybody. Posting results later.

Highly unlikely that there is a bluish paper one in the group

I would have leaned toward the bottom center also, ILS.
