good morning to all I just bought this stamp and not being practical wanted to ask if it was true or falso.da note that misses the point after cents ...... thanks for any replies .
unfortunately I paid around 15 euro .....
Could be worse than losing a few Euros
This beauty is on auction for $350US
No need to worry though, the seller notes it is "signed"
Too bad it has the damaged E,
the blunt tip on the 5,
the over sized U in UKU,
the oval ball instead of a round one on the 5,
the lack of corner breaks in the outer frame,
the conjoined II in Hawaii
and several other forgery issues.
In the words of Alfred E. Newman - “What — Me Worry?â€
I have wasted my time in the past warning sellers and auction sites they were posting frauds.
The most recent answers I remember:
"Our site does not buy or sell the stamps, You should attempt to contact the seller"
"This cannot be a forgery as it came from a very old collection"
"No one has complained about what I sell before"
"My rating speaks for itself"
"Thank you, I'm away from my office for a few weeks but I will remove it soon as I get back"
There are 1000's of forgeries on auction sites. Give me any country pre 1940 & I will find dozens of them.
There is a lot more disposable income out there and the eager buyers and shady sellers are having a good time.
The best I can do now is to pass on my own limited knowledge to those who care.
Edited: On second thought, I think I will auction the stamp in my avatar as a "recently discovered, one of a kind, reversed center, man in the mast, signed rarity" take the proceeds and go where it doesn't snow 6 months of the year.
