Experts all,
I have a question. Whilst I would dearly love to sell this 1853 eightpence yellow of NSW as genuine, I suspect it is a Sperati job. Should I list as genuine at $200 or as a definite/probable forgery at $35?

"Sperati"??! You mean an "Italian fix"?

Your virtue and conscience have found good luck:

Because the story is so famous among collectors, Sperati forgeries are now highly-collectible and are sometimes worth more than an original stamp of the same type.
