I zoomed in on #1 and I think that some perfs can be seen on the left side.......has anyone else done this?

Al E Gator-- wouldn't be 487 or 491...454 perhaps? If it was 491, that'd be criminal..... :)

Ray, I thought about a 454 too----but if it has been an attempt to fake a 482A it would have to be an unwatermarked stamp--hence the 491 thought. Yea, it would be criminal to do that to a 491 but the difference in value, if someone were able to pass it off as a 482A is quite a bit. Of course, I can't imagine anyone accepting anything as a 482A without a cert.

Only way to fake a 482A would be from a 500, and that's been tried alot which is still a crime since 500 isn't an easy stamp either. No way to ever get the side margins wide enough an IIRC the color on the 482A is a bit different than the 500.

Once we get throughr the holidays maybe we can connect Al-
