Württemberg 1890 Scott 59 And 59A

Two shades of green and blue green (Mi # 56a and Mi # 56b)
I need a catalog value evaluation for MNH (Scott 2009-250$ and Michel 2019-750Euro) What is the value of Scott's recent catalog?
How much (%?) does the value affect due to the few shorter teeth and the cracked gum?
Thanks for any help.

They both look green to me, perhaps my monitor.
"Pulled perfs" I believe is philatelic verbiage.

What is the dot in the top frame (left) and rabbit ears?
Great scans by the way.
The left, you may wish to also indicate a crease.

Rod222,
I am not an English speaker (I use google translate and I hope you understand me)
The images were taken in sunlight.
The stamp on the right interests me for evaluating the value.
I think these are more successful.

Scott 2021 gives a value of $300 mint hinged for blue green shade (Sc 59a). Would be higher for MNH, even given the cracked gum. Delcampe has a couple of expertised mint Mi 56b listed for sale you could check.

Cupram, can you do the following? Place one stamp covering about half of the other, then take a photograph with the best white light you have (an LED light is good). This will help us to see if there is any difference between the two stamps.

Our eyes are not very good at seeing subtle differences in colour, and this trick (which I use regularly) I have found is the best way to see if there is any difference.

Rod is right that they both look green, but the eyes are also very good at playing tricks with us. The difference between green and blue green isn't much, especially if we look on a small screen.

Maybe MiNr. 56 a on the left, 56 b on the right.

Heres's an ebay lot with both (a on left, b on right).

Here is an image (I think from stampsx but I am not sure). It shows the year of issue in red below each stamp. Only the top center stamp is a "b"; the other 5 stamps are all "a".

Buna Cupram,

Here is the link to what Germania reffered to for a bigger image from member wuerttemberger:

Thank you all.
I'm already starting to be unsure that it's "b" shade.
The blue green stamp is brighter due to insufficient printing ink.
I tried to take pictures of what is seen in the lens of the minimicroscope.

Green is a combination of blue and yellow. If a green stamp has been poorly inked or chemically washed, or if it has merely faded, and if the yellow has been affected most, leaving the blue predominant (as seen in your microscope image), the stamp may then acquire the vaguely bluish (or grayish?) appearance that we see in your scans. Expertizing may be in order.

Thank you EMaxim.
Merry Christmas

And best wishes to you, cupram, for a safe and happy new year. Hope to see more of your interesting and intelligent posts on this forum.

Germania...

Do you know if there are catalogue varieties based on image size?

Thank you.

Jim/Calstamp

Calstamp, the Michel catalog does not mention differences in image size for this series. That doesn't mean there aren't. Could be due to different paper used for printing. Specialist literature (which I don't have) may mention it. Here is one reference:
Handbuch der Wurttemberg-Philatelie: Kreuzerzeit (1851-1875) by Carlrichard Brühl

Thank you, Germania.

Will check APRL next week re the item you identified. And report back if anything new is revealed.

Hi Calstamp
Catalog varieties based on image size are found for Deutsches Reich (1875-1890) stamps Mi # 31 up to 50. There are 4 categories marked with A, B, C and D.
