Brownish
Carmine (#11) Approximate Periods of Distribution: Nov 1851 - Nov 1852, Jul 1856 - Dec 1856, Jul 1857 - Dec 1857 Printed from Plates: 1L, 2L, and 3 (1851 - 1852), 2L, 3, 4, 5L, 6, 7, 8 (1856 - 1857) Remarks: Frequently mistaken for orange brown (#10) because of its rich, brownish color. However, the presence of red and the lack of orange are keys to identifying this color properly. Although the brownish carmine carries a catalog value premium, it is more common than the dull red shade. |
