QV 4c slate p.12½ - State of the Art Forgery



Cut Lines most obvious along the outer frame lines here


A member bought this nice mint copy for a reasonable price from an overseas auction. On close inspection with a powerful lens 50X, he discovered that the front of the stamp was replaced by a mint copy of the ordinary QV 4c. The back is genuine perf.12.5 stamp. The stamp was expertly regummed. However, the blur watermark is a dead give-away. Luckily, he got his money back.
