Don't take this the wrong way, but it looks like someone gave a kid a piece of paper and a crayon.

"Guiana" is spelled wrong.

ya I know its spelled wrong but wasnt Guiana a place befor the u.s. so mybe they had ther own way of spelling it befor we(US) told them to re-spell it . it wouldnt be the 1st time we told someothere country to do so .. and isnt the british guiana the uglyest stamp ever ... I know this is going to take some time to find the truth about it ...i mean there is ,what only one or so in the world any1 have a real pic of one ?
thanks

Since the British Guiana 1c magenta was one of the most publicized stamp finds and is so rare, there have been many 'facsimiles', 'reprints' and 'replications' made. However, I have to confess that this replication appears to have come out of the incubator a little before it was ready!

roscoe,

Go to your previous post on this: https://goscf.com/t/35275

I posted a scan of a facsimile, and an image of the real deal. Yours is not the real deal.

Regards, Robert

Is this a joke?

Anyone can see this is a rough hand-drawn sketch of the stamp.

I like it. I would put it in my Big Blue which keeps me smiling. That "stamp" would keep me laughing.

This is the "Do It Yourself One Cent British Guiana Stamp" kit. The easy to follow instructions come in useful.



Sorry Roscoe but your One Cent British Guiana isn't a real one. There have been homemade "stamps" used in times of emergencies but your one is not one of them.

man thats a bummer ..but as a fake some have a value , whoud any1 know if it has counturfit value? and thanks to every1 for ur help .. plus I have maybe ~1000or so to help a older friend go and value. would any1 tell me a good place to load some pics of them on this site

redwoodrandy has already expressed interest. I'm sure he would consider a purchase... at face value of course!

The mega millions lottery is poised to hit 1 Billion dollars shortly. First the lottery and then the 1 cent magenta. What a night!

Mega Millions Lottery at about $680,000,000 tonight. If no one wins, may hit US $1,000,000,000 by early next week. Absolutely amazing, and quite ridiculous, I may add! If my ticket wins, I plan to buy a few stamps ...

Hello welcome to Stamp Community!



The value of your stamp or fake shown is minimal, perhaps 50 cents or maybe $1 if somone was interested in all the different kinds of fakes and counterfeits available for stamps. Otherwise, not so much interest though.

The real British Gianna 1c Magenta-coloured stamps is shown on Wikipedia here:
