An old reference book I own talks about the United States printing some stamps from the Third Bureau Issue using ink with an analine red pigment mixed in, and refers to the stamps so printed as "pink backs" because the analine red bled through the paper.

Obviously, the Canadian stamp pictured in this thread is much older, but is the pink "ghost" on the back an example of the same sort of bleed-through? Or is it merely an offset?
