<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1329752, member: 22729&quot;]I don&#039;t know much about foreign counterstamps Numismat, as I generally collect only U.S. pieces plus a few English and Irish stamps. But fantasies and fakes are pretty much the same no matter what country you collect from. Everything about these raise a red flag, especially the lack of wear on any of them and the fact that the seller can get more if he needs to. It certainly is worth spending a small amount to have a stamp made if he can make a serious amount of money selling fakes. I&#039;ve seen some nice looking counterstamps (too nice) on e-bay a few months ago from a seller in Spain that screamed FAKE to me. Too perfect a stamp, unlisted in references, and always sold BIN. BIN is another red flag to me especially when it&#039;s supposedly a rare and desireable issue and the price is set at 3 or 4 hundred bucks. Run as fast as you can!</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
