Dull
Red (#11) Approximate Period of Distribution: Oct 1852 - Dec 1853 Printed from Plates: 1L, 2L, and 3 Remarks: Very early impressions are clear and sharp. However, the great majority of dull red impressions are paler and show signs of plate wear, especially in the Washington bust and in the corner triangles. Although dull red is usually thought to be the most common #11 color, it is less common than rose red, orange red, and brownish carmine. In fact, finding good dull red color samples can be challenging. |
