Not my stamp, but I am curious,
can green get to purple somehow, without intervention?

Hello Rodney,

never seen that "inverted Georgie".
The 9d colour, is described in the Michel as violet-brown, so I think
the description in SG is wrong (printing error). Btw, I never saw a
colour changing from green to violet or purple. From green to yellow or
blue, or something in between - ok.

Hi Peter,
I nearly shot myself in the foot there,
I was going by my own database, and I haven't an agate 9d
I should have checked with SG.
so it is more feasable it could be a bleached agate 9d.
It is not my scan, so there could be a scanner error as well.
Definitely not from Green

The inverted "georgie" is just a joke (I fell for it)
One cannot have an invert, with a single plate issue.
(blame photoshop I guess)
cheers mate.

Yes, thanks Nick,
if not a scanner error, I'd suggest it (the deep agate) has met
with bleach somewhere along the line.

There is both a 9d (pale) olive-green and a 9d (deep) agate in the 1912-24
GV issue. The scan is probably of the latter though looks rather purple
when compared to my copy.

Nick

Calculated guess?
line up 2 or more under a scanner and toggle.
Registration is immediately discernible.
but I accept your argument, there are indeed.

How do you know it is a single plate issue???

There are plenty of monocolour stamps out there printed from 2 plates or cylinders ...

They often look like that. I suspect a degree of water damage
suffered when being soaked.

It certainly has nothing to do with the green version that superseded
the agate version in 1922. I am not sure why this was done,
but may have been due to the difficulty of seeing cancels on a dark stamp

Known shades are agate, pale agate, deep agate and very deep agate

What about this one, from my collection?

http://s861.photobucket.com/albums/ab180/imhotep/

I would call that dark/black-violet.

I have scanned a specimen of my own, along with the
appropriate colour card from the Stanley Gibbons
Stamp Colour Key

http://www.italianstamps.co.uk/gb/9dagate.jpg

Quite a good match

There is a hint of purple in agate
