I always get a kick out of this one -- One wonders what they were thinking with putting "2 CENTS" vs "TWO CENTS"  |

Question...For all the forgery experts. What does "postal forgery" mean as opposed to a regular forgery? I have heard/read that several times and was curious as to it's meaning. Thanks! Wolf-==- |

Wolf, you have not searched that! I you use the search function you will learn that a postal forgery is made to dupe the postal officials. A regular forgery dupes us collectors if e bite!

On the stamp you show, the overprint 2 CENTS is over THREE PENCE. Yes, but the stamp the forger is attempting copy, also has an overprint, which reads "TWO CENTS", not "2 CENTS".  |

Wolf..This is the definition of postal forgery.. Quote:
A forged stamp intended to defraud the post office, rather than defrauding stamp collectors. Regular forgery... Quote:
the action of forging or producing a copy of a document, signature, banknote, or work of art. Robert |

I have 2 of those Nova Scotia "specimen" forgeries as well - Scott 8 & 10 - very attractive, I must say. The forgeries must be old, as they came from a collection put together in the 1940s. |

New Brunswick #1 used Forgery Centered - margins all around - tear and thin at right side Forgery possible by Spiro Note - the numbers point towards the center instead of the bottom (a corner) of this diamond shaped stamp.  |
