Just picked up a small, very inexpensive auction lot of mostly fake / forged Venezuelan coat of arms issues. These have the smallest font of any overprint on a stamp that I have ever seen. If you look under magnification, that tiny little black line says “Estampillas de Correo- Contrasena” sometimes words are in a different order.
I’m deliberately buying these real/fake mixes (if the price is right) so that I have a reference collection. To me studying a series is so much easier if you have more material to examine. It’s like in statistics- a larger sampling usually equates to more accurate results. Does anyone else do this or is this a Terri anomaly? Lol
Once I work through them (eventually one day!) I’ll post a pic of my results.
