Robert, to me it is not just the purple. The whole stamp, including the cancel, looks lighter.

Ya it does Peter....Maybe was near the end of a run and not worth adding more ink..I used to do this in printing class in high school...just let the ink run out, or ink started to dry out, or roller got coated from the stamp face.

BeeSee, are these two (or more) varieties or different catalog numbers? The USPS does the same thing, probably to keep everybody confused, but Scott gives them different numbers. Does Unitrade do that too?

Good Morning guys, Especially on used stamps, how can one be certainly they have one of the printing color varieties vs. a sun or otherwise faded stamp? Don Robert... You spelled color wrong in title!   Oh wait, you are from Canada. Isn't that the place that has two seasons (winter and August)? |

We are more privileged in Vancouver then the rest of Canada. Our seasons are Rain and August  As for the stamps, the shades do not really matter when identifying. The perforation and tagging combinations are enough to identify them. |
