1890-1893 Last Bank Note Definitives #219-229
The smaller Definitives introduced in 1890, similar in size to many of those in use today, were well received - with one notable exception. Customers disliked the deep red (lake) color of the 2¢ George Washington (#219D), which was replaced eleven weeks later with the 2¢ stamp in a carmine shade (#220).
