Subtle Color Change Makes U.S. #573a a Scarce Variety
Stamp #573 was the highest value stamp in the Series of 1922-25. The only bi-color stamp in the series was printed in carmine and blue. The #573a variety was printed in carmine lake and dark blue. The subtle color difference went unnoticed by most collectors, so this stamp is hard to find today.
The Head of Freedom Statue stamp was issued on March 20, 1923, in far smaller quantities than the other stamps in this series. In addition to the low quantity, five dollars was a great deal of money in 1923. When adjusted for inflation, $5 in 1923 would be worth over $200 in wages today. Since the regular variety is scarce, imagine how rare this color variety is!
