1923 German 2000m Shades

[MikeC99]

I was going through my German hyperinflation stamps and noticed that some of my 2000m stamps appear to contain different shades however my Scott catalogue only shows this stamp as being blue (Scott #205).  

I have gone through my other stamps from this series and noticed some other color variations.  Do other catalogues show the color variations and are the values of the variations significant enough to warrant collecting color variations of this series of stamps.

MikeC99,

Michel lists two shades.

MiNr 253 a -- (bright) Prussian blue to dark blue [blue]
MiNr 253 b -- (dark) violet-ultramarine to dark cobalt [dark blue]

To me, it looks like you have -- a, b, a

[PostmasterGS]

Should also mention, used value for the two are €2.50 (a) and €8 (b).

PostmasterGS, thanks for the information regarding the 2000m stamps. I have gone through my other stamps from this series and I have found color variations in all of the denominations so it looks like I'll use a Vario sheet to display the shades of this set of stamps.
