WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU BUY!!!

The image of George Washington was a staple for most Classic Period stamp series. In the 1890-1893 Issue, Washington was depicted on the 'work horse' of the series, the 2-cent stamp, which paid the first-class mail rate. February 22, 1890, the official release date for most stamps in this issue, was Washington’s 158th birthday. Coincidentally, it made this stamp the first to be issued on the subject’s birthday.

The stamp was originally printed and issued in a lake color, but complaints about stamp's quality soon prompted the postmaster general to order the ink color changed. The new carmine ink became the predominant, familiar color for the majority of these 2-cent stamps.
