Can someone tell me if these Czarist Russian stamps are real or forgeries?

All 3 stamps appear genuine to me. However, I don't think they are on vertical laid paper (#64,#65,#67). Rather, they appear to be on wove paper (#83,#84,#86 -- I've ignored color varieties). You will need to confirm whether wove paper, and if so, I leave the final color variation IDs to you or others.

OK now I have some homework; vertical laid paper vs wove paper.

I think the 35k also came in horizontally laid paper; but I recall the colors are slightly different shade.

I didn't mention it before, because all 3 look like wove paper based on what I see in the margins. But, the only way to be sure is physically examining the stamps. It would be nice if they were all on laid paper. Back to you...

Hey, I have a few Russian stamps that I am having trouble giving a name to. I have exhausted all the tools I have, and all I know now is they're Tzarist, Fiscals. I was able to find one of them; however the rest are ghosts. Here is the first row.
