The 1-cent Franklin, introduced in February, 1903, was produced in enormous quantities (11.2 billion) largely to support the postcard mania of the time. The stress of this high volume on the Bureau of Engraving and Printing can be seen as the initial color of apple green became a muddy, blurred green by 1905.

The washington maybe this one, series 1922-23

Two-cent.-Portrait of Washington, from Roudon's bust, with the name "Washington" on the ribbon below the portrait. The surounding design is the same as the 1-cent stamp, with the necessary change of figures representing the denomination, and with the word "Cents" instead of "Cent." The stamp is printed in red ink. The 2-cent stamp was first placed on sale at Washington, D.C., January 15, 1923, in sheet form. This denomination was, however, first issued in coils January 8, 1923, and was placed on sale the following day.
