The first Finnish Republic stamp in my overview on LD is #6732661 . I think the date of issue cannot be correct here due to historical reasons. This falls before the February revolution.

In addition, blue is specified as the color. This does not match the Michel catalog number. Mi 83 A is green (and known in LD as #331989).

If the color of #6732661 is really blue then I find: Mi 82 A with year 1920 (and not 1917).
Although I do see a color difference with the other stamp, I think this stamp is also green (with different lighting) and is a duplication. I gladly leave this decision to the specialists.

Actually, I was looking for the the very first issue date of the Republic of Finland. In the meantime I found out that was on October 1, 1917.

I had a look at another catalogue. Mi.82A, 1920-01-16, blue (the seal in the photo is also blue), then Mi.83A, 1921-07-06, green, perforation 14¼ x 14 and then another variant of this green stamp, Mi.83B, 1929-09-09, olive green, perforation 14¼ x 14¾, printed on white paper. .

Dumb; was already half asleep. Wrong stamps 10 pence.
This one seems better to me:

Think your stamp is green.

7451Dick The latter also seems better to me. Value 50 and obviously blue. I think the current seal in the database is indeed green.

Can you put your version in it?

7451Dick I'm not a Finland specialist (and there are quite a few of those stamps), but as far as I can tell all the fields that are filled in now belong to the blue stamps as you show them. Therefore my suggestion would be to replace the current image with yours.

It also depends on the estimation whether most collectors mainly look at the image (greenish stamp with face value), or at the detail fields (blue seal). I have no idea about this, but always look at the details with 'difficult' stamps myself.

7451Dick thanks! I'm just lost for a while now. I added this stamp to the correct issue and now an older version of this 82A is showing up :-/ .

However, I do see a whole shade of difference. I also came across another stamp in LD with face value and color blue: #6004771 . This one has a different perforation and the year 1929. Mi 82 and the perforation match each other; I don't think the year is.

Leendert can you take a look at these three items: #6732661 incl. history,   #331989 and #6004771 ? The green 50 stamp is: #323277 .

Lyonesse Thanks John, but my question is whether instead of a duplication of a green stamp it has not become a duplication of a blue stamp (which I did not find yesterday).

What I find remarkable is that there such a big difference in hue. Maybe that's normal for these stamps, but since I don't have a special catalog I can't really figure it out.

The stamps were initially issued with perforation K14, (sometimes a lot) later with perforation 14¼ x 14¾, after the equipment had undergone an overhaul. Depending on the person measuring, and depending on your rounding habit, my stamp can also be perforated 14¼ x 14 or 14x14¼.

The fact that you are suddenly discovering extra stamps may be due to that @$%&* everything button. It could also just be because (fairly old) stamps have recently thawed with all the misery that entails.
I also have two blue 50 pennia stamps; the difference is perforation, or watermark (without, posthorn, swastika). And 4 distinct from the green ones, I thought.

7451Dick My interest ran until 1923, but after that these stamps were indeed also issued with watermark swastikas and post horns. Lyonesse The enthusiast can still discover 4 variants among the post horns.

What is wisdom to do now #6732661 in the absence of original detailed information, report it as a duplication?

Michel number is the same (82 a) so in my opinion the youngest has to go.

You should never rely on the added catalog numbers! Perforation and watermark are more reliable.
In version 1 of the mentioned LD number #6732661 too little data was entered, which was again (unchecked) in version 4. changed. So reliability is very low.

Frageria some data on the first entry was wrong, such as the date of issue. In addition, it is very important to know which watermark it has with this stamp, you could possibly find out via the catalog number. However, the catalog number does not match the specified color.

Meanwhile, many collectors are attached to it and you do not know on the basis of which criterion this stamp was chosen. Was selected on the picture, on the color or or the Michel number.

So you don't even know which number to dial for a duplicate report.

Frageria but of which stamp is it a duplication? From the blue (Michel 82) or from the green (Michel 83)?

I thought for a moment I knew the answer. But if you ask it that way, it becomes unclear to me too. Maybe we should ask the original importer which stamp he meant?.
