The 2c value from this set is known both wet and dry rotary press printed. Unitrade does not list any shades, even though a wide range exist, ranging from deep yellowish brown to true black brown. The regular wet rotary press printings are narrower than the dry printings, and are perf. 10.75, while the dry rotaries are perf. 11 exactly. There appear to be a number of potentially constant varieties on this value, some of which are offered in this sale, though more study will be necessary to establish their nature.
