ILS you are surely over my head on that one. Sometimes if the forgery is in black an white maybe but I hadn't thought of a forgery being on the back of a stamp. So, you are saying it maybe a forgery of the same stamp design on the back of the original? Can you explain a little more about the lines and letters? Are the lines not straight and the O of cents a little small? Intriguing if so.
Thanks
Absolutely I'll elaborate. Look at how crude the lines are behind Franklins bust and the design in general. It's not a design that would transfer as shown because the design is different. It's not like every few lines was inked more than the others and so therefor I must deduce that the set-off or "offset" was not made by an officially made stamp. It may have been from an old album that did have a like design but I sincerely believe it's an actual offset from an officially printed stamp but rather a periodical or the like. Disagree if you must, but the details, in my personal opinion, is not from an actual government issue produced postage stamp. It's too crude looking.
Now I WILL agree that it IS indeed and set-off/"offset"
(I don't like that terminology as it it, to me anyway, refers to a type of printing press made stamp) but just not from another #24.
