Well, at least I got to have a haircut in the Penny Lane barber shop.

Making the dangerous assumption that these really are Scott #481 and 482, are they unusual for having been printed on greenish and reddish paper? Or are there other 1¢ and 2¢ Washington issues printed on pastel paper?

My #483 and 484 are printed on plain, if a little yellowed, non-matching paper. I bought both from what I thought were reputable dealers.

D****d Washington-Franklin series!

If the color is similar to the print ink it is likely ink transfer. Stamps were printed then stacked while damp so can be transfer especially on backside. I believe it is more common on flat press printed in contrast to rotary press printed stamps.

These are my copies of 481 and 482 the flat press proof is in the back of the stamps with traces of green and red inks and indeed they give the impression of being in colored papers, so angore approach in my opinion is correct.

Definitely a transfer. You see that a lot like the one on the left in the W and F series.
