Get All Four Series of 1888 Stamps at Once
In late 1887 and 1888, some stamps of the 1870-89 regular issues were produced in new colors. The 4¢, stamp (#215), picturing Andrew Jackson was changed from blue green to carmine. This may have been to avoid confusion with the 2¢ stamp, which had recently been printed in green.
The 5¢ stamp (#216) also underwent a color change. In 1882, the Garfield stamp had been issued in yellow brown. Issued shortly after his assassination, the stamp was meant to be a mourning stamp. The Post Office intended to issue it in brown, but Garfield’s widow didn’t approve and suggested the stamp be printed in brown. In 1888, the color on the 5¢ stamp was changed to indigo.
Similarly, the 30¢ Hamilton stamp (#217) was changed from black to orange-brown. The 90¢ Perry stamp (#218) that had previously been carmine was now purple.
