In amongst an auction lot I acquired recently was a polythene envelope containing a number of what I thought were stickers so I put them to one side and forgot about them. Today while having a tidy up I pulled them out for a look. I went to my 2012 Stanley Gibbons world catalogue and looked them up. Dated to 1862 and catalogued at £300 mint. I very much doubt that they are genuine and have done a bit of searching but haven't come up with much. Does anyone collect Argentina and have a similar stamp that is confirmed genuine to compare or maybe someone knows if they are fakes. I probably have around 50 of them. This is the largest block. P.S. This is from a different lot to my other post Graham   |

Cant wait to see the outcome ...so I've bookmarked it. I have some difficulty with diagnosis of SCANS re: forged stamps etc - I like to see the typical signs, as Robert WERT has shown us many times.......the diagnosis with details - not comparing scans to scans ! and a representation of an "original" !

According to a Argentine collector friend here,this is an unauthorised reprint by Roberto Lange and is therefore counterfeit.

Thanks for the confirmation anglobob could your fellow collector elaborate please on how he came to that conclusion? |

radiocruncherI believe he came to that conclusion because he knew they are counterfeit.
