#500 is somewhat inaccurate--although it is usually the well known "deep rose", it has been shown to exist in a few other shades as well. You know, since the Wash Franks aren't confusing enough. :-)
The two 499 subjects, positions 95 and 96 in the lower left pane of plate 10208 are found in the bottom plate block. The Durland Standard Plate Number Catalog, published by the United States Stamp Society, answers this and many other questions. Membership in the USSS is recommended for anyone wishing to study or understand the Washington-Franklin series.
Hi cfrphoto, the United States Stamp Society is a good organization, and a great resource for Washington/Franklin Head Stamps, and other issues and series.
I've always enjoyed the Society publications, and highly recommend other collectors to always read everything they can get a hold of.
