This issue is listed in shades of dark violet and dull violet, even though there are many more shades than just two. In addition to violet, there is deep violet, dull violet, bluish violet and a milky violet, which is quite reddish by comparison. The gum types cover the full range found on the Arch and Medallion issues, from mottled deep brownish yellow, to yellowish, to cream, and finally cream. Sheen varies from semi-gloss to satin. In terms of plate varieties and re-entries, I have not found many, except for a few minor re-entries and anomalies involving the framelines. I am sure that more detailed and rigourous study will turn up more varieties.
