    Hello...

    You have a couple of stamp types there, are you referring to the one in the middle? Since the perfs are cut almost all the way off, it will have a lesser value than one with all the perfs.

    Stamp values are reflective of condition and scarcity. Staining, discoloration and nibbed perforations remove much of a stamps value. The stamps being shown come in different perforations, watermarked and unwatermarked paper and type varieties so it can't be determined with certainty what stamp is in the picture. I would venture to guess that they are likely valued at the catalogue minimum. Any stamps having faults are space fillers. You would need to check for watermarks, check the perforations on the stamp with a gauge and consult a U.S. catalogue and determine the variety with a loop magnifier to know exactly what you have.

    Judging from what I see I don't believe it is the pink variety. It appears to be a faded carmine in my opinion. I could be wrong.

    The stamps appear to have a type 2 triangle in the corner. A pink stamp has a type 1 triangle.

    Perhaps it would be a good idea,to tell us what your
    intention is,showing so many extremely common
    stamps.
    Perhaps it would be another good idea to sort out all
    damaged ones and throw them in the waste-bin.
    If you want to know the value of the shown stamps:
    unless some interesting are hidden somewhere,all
    are of hardly any value at all.They are just common
    mass-ware.

    Scott Catalogue does not recognize a rose colored type II issue. Although the comparison to identified stamps of a certain hue might indicate it to be that color it does not take into account sun fading, reaction to chemicals used to check for watermarks or other adverse handling or aging. I suggest consulting a catalog for further identification. A magnifying loop is really required to check the triangles for type.

    When I saw this post I thought maybe they were worth something as I have loads too :) This has made me laugh honestly, I'm sorry as you were clearly asking an intelligent questions, when people say go to a stamp dealer, sometimes that is not possible, I live in Bulgaria, there is no such thing here.

    I agree... get rid of the fluff and show only the one you want help in identifying. The 2-cent Washington comes in a lot of different varieties and perfs... you are asking for help in identifying a specific type but are showing a lot of different types along with it.

    If you want multiple definitions, put them in separate frames so we can expand them and see what they are truly are...

    Constructive criticism... not beating you up.

    It makes me go dizzy and now when I'm sorting mine out if I see more than one I get a headache and start to go all blurry eyes like I've had a few too many :)
