The American Philatelic Society has a page on its web site called, "Forged or Genuine?" The user is presented with two examples of mostly common stamps. Hints are usually provided to help with the identification process. Then the user selects which image is of the genuine stamps.

Here's the link:

http://stamps.org/Forged-or-Genuine

I believe this is on the public portion of the site. If not, please let me know.

If desired, one should be able to print out each page for reference.

Very nice. Thanks Michael. Interesting how "easy" these are with the hints provided and two clear examples side by side.

I believe that the hints and ease of identification is intentional to try to show people how to spot problem stamps.
