I think my monitor is off. But this looks rose to me. Which would make it a 460?

Thanks.



Also, anyone know of any collectors in Florida who might be interested in my collection (US and worldwide, almost all pre-1940)?

Thanks.

460 is a different stamp entirely.

Wow. You're right. Not sure where I came up with 460. Will re-check. Any guess on the color?
Thanks.

This is an offset stamp, probably a 527 carmine.

Almost all of the Washington Franklins exist in multiple shades, and very few of them are distinguished primarily by color (#523 is an example of an exception). Even the much talked about Type Ia #500, which historically was considered to have a distinct deep rose color, has been shown to have shade variations.

Any suggestions on a specific brand of fluid to detect watermarks? Or is there a better/safer method?

I use Uni-Safe's watermark fluid and have had no problems. I don't think it's significantly different that most others on the market, though.

I agree with revcollector, this is an offset printing.
It is not watermarked, though many of the other Washington/Franklin issues are.
