2 skilling has big variations in the colours, especially the blue colour of the oval varies. From an ultramine to a clear blue to a greenish blue and to a colour often mentioned as pressian blue, which is found in print 2 and 4. The colour of the oval can vary a great deal in the same print. The colour of the frame vary a lot - and it is normally not difficult to tell the print from the colours of he stamp.
Below is seen photos of mærker from print 1 to 5 (1. row) and print 6 to 9 (2. row).



*The bicoulered with sk. (skilling) are usually found with at least a little imperfect perforation and colourfresh nice cancelled and perfect perforated stamps are often considerably more expensive than the prices given here. The three issues with perforation 12,5 (2sk., 4sk. og 48 sk.) are all difficult to find in perfect colorfresh copies.
