#1 Post by songenaz » Thu Mar 24, 2016 7:03 pm

Hello
I have recently purchased a lot of Chalons 4d, Star Watermark
I was quite surprised to find a two pence,Star Watermark which is almost the same colour as a 4 Pence!

Has someone ever seen such a colour for a Chalons two pence?

Thanks for reply.
Best regards from France

It would have to be a 'changling' - remove the yellow from green and you should get blue .... I don't know how you would do it but as soon as I come across a dreadful 2d Chalon to experiment with, I'll have a go at it with some sunlight and/or laudry bleach and we'll see what happens.

Hi all

I want to wish a really happy new year to all members of the board and the Tasmanian Philatelic society.
All the best for you and your family and success on every project!

Few months ago I was surprised to find such a blue colour on usually 2 Pence "Green"

Here is another exemple from Koichi Sato Collection.

Any opinion about that? Do you have other exemples like that?

Thanks
