Hi
I am sorting though a crazy amount of stamps and I cam across a reddish color 50 cent. Is it just age/oxidation? or a color error?




Thanks
Elisa

Yes, note how the paper itself is toned. A sure sign of environmental issues.

Elisa, I am more than 90% with Don on this. My only hesitation is due to the fact that I have not seen the item and have learned to leave the door open for the unexpected. Verify by direct observation that it is a changeling and remove all doubt. Do not dismiss it until you are sure you know what it is.
