	Help ID why stamp corners are different By Michael 3 weeks ago \| Last Post: 3 weeks ago Forum U.S. Stamp Identification
	This looks to be the result of underinking at the top right corner. This means there was not enough ink on the plate to press a clear impression. Minor underinking like this example does not effect the value at all. In more dramatic cases, it can be considered an EFO (error, freak, or oddity), and increase in value. 3 weeks ago By Ryan … I have a red Washington 2 cent stamp (see attached).

	Question Scott Specialized Color Guides for U.S. Stamps By pmoulay 1 month ago \| Last Post: 3 weeks ago Forum U.S. Stamp Identification
	I know of the White's Encyclopedia of United States Stamps color guide, and yes it is quite expensive. For a couple of reasons. First, the amount of study time that went into the research of the guide(s) is worth a great deal. White spent a lifetime researching United States philatelic colors, inks, papers, and repairs. Second, there are only a small number of copies produced. So that produces rarity in the publication. The amount of collectors who are wanting advanced color research is small. Advanced collectors spending thousands on rare stamps are willing to pay a decent amount for an advanced color guide like White's. Thus it so. 3 weeks ago By Ryan … Why the Scott Specialized Color Guides for U.S. Stamps is so expensive? Thank you 1 month ago By pmoul…
