According to Scott catalog C57 is Slate Blue and lists reprints as well, my question: Is the stamp shown on the left genuine or a reprint, the stamp shown on the right is obviously a reprint based on color Image Not Found

I would need to look up more detail about the reprints. However, the stamp on the right could be the real thing. The Sanabria catalog lists a greenish black (Sanabria catalog #84d) for the 4P value as well as the slate blue (Sanabria catalog #84). In the 1966 edition of Sanabria, the greenish black catalogs for 10 times the value of the slate blue.

Thanks Terry, I guess the old adage "Don't believe everything you read" applies
