Two questions: Are these certificates correct in identification of these stamps? Who is/was the guy producing these certificates? Any interesting history on "Pinchot"    |

Those are both type 3, #15. Very nice stamps! I don't know who Mr. Pinchot was. |

I agree that certificates are wrong! They look like #15 to me.
So... why the wrong ID on certificates??? Was the guy smoking something? The value of a Scott #14 and 15 are similar value.
Did Pinchot just make a mistake, or am I missing something here? Perhaps Scott changed the numbering/type just after these certs were issued.

Sam Pinchot is a recognized stamp expert / dealer / collector, with items auctioned via Daniel F. Kelleher & Siegal Auctions but I didn't find any information regarding a Daniel Pinchot. I've also seen fake certs on CL. Perhaps the misidentified stamps go hand in hand with them being fake certs. |

Thanks for input and checking thru PF. I would doubt PF would have in database since they are not PF certs.
(But good idea to check). Just strange since 14 and 15 are similar value. Perhaps a 14 back in 1988 was worth double a 15. I don't know |

I agree, these are Scott 15. Even in 1963 the 14 and 15 were pretty much identical in cat value, so I doubt that was any different when these certs were issued. |

As can be seen from the cert below, I think that Daniel was in business with his father. Don Edit: There are quite a few listings on ebay with these certs, I don't think they are 'fake certs'. Gosh I miss BillW, I would have normally turned to him for this kind of history.  |
