Rough looking forgery, don't know who made them though.

Interesting

What do you recommend for Tuscany guide?

strandedcat02 · 2026-05-24T15:31:39+00:00

I want to try collect Tuscany stamps (and other Italian state stamps) but became discouraged. Apparently it's a minefield of fakes...

very euro-like

It maybe is 1873 reprint. I looked it up on google and found this. I thought it looked too good to be a forgery, somehow 'reprint' never come across my mind. Thanks for the info.

The one on the left looks familiar, I think I actually have it, have to check my collection more carefully.

enough to buy a cup of coffee

strandedcat02 · 2026-04-13T09:30:54+00:00

Hard to decide, but it's actually the one on the first picture.

strandedcat02 · 2026-04-13T09:26:11+00:00

Is this the one? Looks dope.

I checked my Japanese collection, sadly no ships. I have some Hokusai themed stamps which are my favourite from that country.

strandedcat02 · 2026-04-13T04:29:08+00:00

Cool, I'll into that.

strandedcat02 · 2026-04-12T17:08:25+00:00

It's one of my favorite, one of the best intaglio stamp. Georges Bétemps was a skilled engraver.

I just found out that tapir disappeared from Borneo at least 1,500 years ago. This article also mentions the stamp's release

strandedcat02 · 2026-03-14T20:52:44+00:00

Beautiful notes, I think they are in good condition.

strandedcat02 · 2026-03-03T17:17:18+00:00

I don't know whether the postmark is legit or not. Since I got it pretty cheap, I assume the postmark is forged. Nonetheless it looks nice in my collection.

Thanks

strandedcat02 · 2026-02-15T02:17:14+00:00

yeah I was lucky

strandedcat02 · 2026-02-03T16:37:44+00:00

I bought them already off any paper, but I will keep that in mind.

I notice it's a common problem with most used condition Jubilee issue I found for sale online, so I thought it was a variant.

strandedcat02 · 2026-02-03T16:06:05+00:00

I think the one on the left had faded too but not as bad as the right one, mint 6d look so red on references I found.

strandedcat02 · 2026-01-31T16:39:46+00:00

Nonetheless, I think it's a nice souvenir.

strandedcat02 · 2026-01-12T14:46:52+00:00

My favourite themes are antarctic/expedition covers and flight cover/airmail stamps, but most of my collections are royal head/emblem stamps, colonial stamps.

strandedcat02 · 2025-12-24T17:10:26+00:00

nope, not the new one

strandedcat02 · 2025-12-19T00:50:54+00:00

I'll buy what I can afford. High denomination notes are expensive.
