What Difference Between Pink And Pigeon Pink On #64?

i was looking at different colors..i saw that michael m spoke in his article about the comparison of pink with the 64. ..then I saw the pf fundatuon certifications and saw different shades too..so that is why I asked about it to find out differences if specifics for this stamp with the pink shades.

i read the comments from the other menu written and was very interesting too. Thank you all again. I am graeful when things are explain to me in specific manners..I learned something knew today from Michael M article..(Thank you Ray for your previous post on another topic on the stamp forum).that is how I learn about stamps..one might find it a nuisance to ask opinions. but that is how one who learn about different things. I like things explain by specifics . if someone says that is a 65..i like to know why one comes to a conclusion of it. Today I heard two different opinions about the blue ink..that was the first time I heard about this pertaining to look at any of the 64's..

Sometime specifics are not necessary. When you've seen a real 64 they are unmistakable and most here know a 65 when they see one.

To expand on what stallzer is saying, stamps are considered to be the more common variety unless there is convincing evidence otherwise.

As ray.mac said, what exactly defines a Pigeon Blood Pink #64a is uncertain. Read Mike McClung here: http://chronicle.uspcs.org/PDF/Chro...65/11568.pdf

As for the "bluish cast", reread the same author here where he asserts that the bluish cast is a normal characteristic of the true pink (#64, and if it exists and is definable, #64a): http://chronicle.uspcs.org/PDF/Chro...44/10827.pdf

These and all other stamp shades just have not been quantified before. With time, the efforts of many will allow for measurable characteristics to be universally defined between expertisers and at least somewhat accessible to collectors.

Identifying shades across the Internet is impossible without color calibrated scanning and quantified characteristics agreed upon by expertisers. Even with these uncertainties, it is obvious to those who study these shades that both of yours would qualify as #65. I do like your stamp on piece though... Cheers!

I think the Pigeon may want a say in this!
