Hi guys...A friend from our stamp club has had a cover for 50 some odd years...He asked me to post his cover and find out why the middle 2 cent queen had 2 colours..Can't be sun fade, cause it should have affected stamps on either side..What do you guys think..?

Sorry about the quality, taken from cell phone.

Robert

Or sun fade due to something laying on top of the cover?
