Fiji # 19 Used Overprinted 6/3 Forgery

Hello, I got this stamp severa; years ago in a small lot. It is a decent stamp except for the fact that it is a forgery, but even so, I like it. This stamp has 55 round to ovalish "pearls" around the center circle. The base of the crown is rounded and the cancel consists ot concentric circles. I didn't see any information on the overprint but it is obviousle forged as well. The genuine stamp has 69 "dice" around the center circle and the base of the crown is flat.
Anyway, this is what I learned today and thought I would share the information. Below is the link I used. I hope I pasted it right this time.
Thanks
David

Nice link also, thanks.

Nice thread, thanks for posting.
Let's hope you can work at increasing the
image size, so we can get up close.
It's fascinating to see the small details of a forgery,
we don't see too many on SCF right now.

Hello, here is a larger scan. I hope this helps.
Thanks
David

Thanks David,
tends to be pixellated
No criticism, but you may try in future
to re scan at a higher resolution 400dpi to 600 dpi perhaps
You can then use Bobby's Image resizer to
place on SCF.
