The stamp is a 1885 Portugal King Luis I. overprint "small letter" Acores and in catalog it's labled as carmine and worth $97.82 in used condition. Does anyone know what the price would be if the stamp has been printed in the wrong color Rose Pink? Also the stamp is perferated at 13 1/2 gauge when it ought to be 12 1/2.
I don't see any fading or weathering on stamp and the white typograph raised engraving still has it's original mint state glossy sheen.
How much does wrong perferated / wrong color error go for stamp is already prices in catalog for $97.82 is never been hinged and somewhat good centering?

It would be helpful if you scanned the stamp or at least fully described it. The Azores stamps of 1882-85 and 1882-87 are found with both perf 12 1/2 and 13 1/2.
From the picture you've added, the rosine chalk-surfaced stamps appeared in both 12 1/2 and 13 1/2. |

The chance that a stamp has the wrong colour and a wrong perforation is very small. I wonder what stamp you are looking at.
The site that may not be mentioned lists a 20 reis Carmine Portuguese stamp with the portrait of Luis I from 1884 with perf. 11.5. Although described as carmine, it looks nothing like it. A similar stamp is listed with a small acores overprint from 1887. That has the colour described as rose that looks more like the stamp shown.
There also are profile stamps one is another 20 reis Portuguese stamp from 1887, described as carmine and looks more like that colour. It has perfs. 12.5 and 13.5. There is a similar 1870 stamp of 25 reis described as carmine or pink and with perfs. 12.5, 13.5, 14, and 11. That exists with three types of overprint, all described as the rose one and with both the 12.5 (type & and II overprints) or 13.5 (types II and III) gauge.
I wonder which one you are talking about and what is the error you think there is.
Edit:
As I wrote above, you added a scan.
It looks normal. |

bruh NSK
do you research anything before you posted the 1887 stamp is a completely different stamp and much later then the one in my photo I added so whats up. its a calonial stamp from portugal for azores calony my catalog has it listed as carmine which is red and not rose or pink
"1882 -1885 King Luis I - Portuguese Stamps Overprinted "Acores" in Small WM: None Perforation: 12˝
I dont see a mention of it being perforation of 11, 12 or 14 ?
first I thought someone might say its fade from red to pink like when I showed my austrian blue 5 heller stamp which community said was just green with the yellow faded out of it, which is not the case with that stamp or this one.

Did you look at my response? This stamp was issued in both carmine and rosine. Your stamp does not have "the wrong" perforation or colour. |

Geoff, This is not the first post of this member in which the member does not accept the answer if it does not imply he found a unique stamp of extreme value. You are wasting your time. |

I'm going to say what we're all thinking: from now on in this thread, posts addressing one another may only begin with "Bruh." |
