There are 4 forgery types of the basic stamp of this issue and 3 are very good
This is the Type IV or Stripes forgery due to the distinct oblique lines on the engine front and the shape of the whistle behind the smoke stack
The 89 in 1898 is very large It is also found in an imperf set
As for the overprint, the top of the I seems too far from the C, it should be more like the FI
The forgeries greatly outnumber the genuine of this issue for some reason unknown.

President Celio Arias
1896,Jan.1 - Scott 95-102(8) Perf 111/2 , #98 missing. Originals are on both thin, Semi-transparent paper & opaque paper. Reprints are on thicker,opaque paper and usually have a black cancellation "Honduras" between horizontal bars.
"Counterfeits are plentiful" , am not sure about these ?! Paper seems semi-transparent to me but not very thin with Perf 111/2 and no cancellation on back.

Paper seems semi-transparent to me but not very thin with Perf 111/2 and no cancellation on back. More than plentiful, at least 4 types exist. The "Thick Bars Variety" forgery has thick background bars, very large UPU circle and none match the genuine colors. |
