Items for Sale - Andrew Jackson, 2¢ Red Intaglio

There are two printings of the 2¢ intaglio (engraved) stamp which can be scientifically identified by paper type. Some of the stamps offered here come with Certificates of Analysis by Harry G. Brittain, PhD, FRSC, Center for Pharmaceutical Physics. Dr. Brittain has published ground breaking research on papers and inks in the Confederate Philatelist, quarterly journal of the Confederate Stamp Alliance (July-Sept 2013 issue), now the Civil War Philatelic Society. The Brittain certificates only address whether stamps are from the First (usually pale red) or Second (usually brown red) Printing.
