As others have said more or less, there are some Countries that carry a reputation when it comes to philatelic shenanigans and manufactured value ("errors") and Liberia is right at or very near the top of the list.

Bileski has been mentioned more than once for good reason. He enterprisingly created a market. Many "errors" of Liberia were intentional and exist in numbers that outstrip demand. Others "escaped" the printer.

It is a highly specialized area best described as a minefield. Any suggested sales values should be taken with a grain of salt. Use the ebay advanced search to find sold results. Those are real market numbers, not wishful thinking or trolling for suckers.

PS: The part imperf block with the SON cancel is obviously made for collectors.

They are embossed and pass the uv test also. I have had experts look at them and say they are not fake. I have had experts say that they are fake. So are the fake or real? And I've been on ebay, no one has the exact ones I have, they are different which you know changes everything. So......... I still don't have answers, some of you say fake, some of you say real.

No-one has been rude. Did the Liberian Philatelic Society have any comments? If not, perhaps you need to have a punt on cetification for your peace of mind.

I can't see how anyone would want to fake these rather dreadful looking stamps! They were printed in various shades of green. The various shades including mustard also appear on both Liberia stamp websites with no reference to them being fake.

Do you have any proof please floortrader?

CMF, the block of CTO stamps in sheets are often available on ebay, search for Liberia 1897 sheet. There is one for sale at the moment for $21. OK, yours has a missing column of perfs but as I said Bileski purchased all of Perkins Bacons waste stock so it would be from here so has little monetary value.
