"Anomalies" In Cv??

Just to clear the misconceptions on this issue

"I made this up a few years ago,so people understand how to tell forgeries with the position of the "P" with the edge of the plastic going thru it."

An error in the Michel catalog perpetrating this myth. This only works sometimes, the real test is the width of the word "POSTES" and the distance of the "P" from the border.- see next note for more details

Sorry, I made a mistake when naming the stamps of the print of 1885 as 'FAKES".
They are not fakes because they were REPRINTED by the official authorities in exclusivity for a stamp dealer againt payment of fabrication costs + a donation to a caritative organization of the German Kayser.
So, nothing is fake.... but it's a REPRINT.

Unfortunately calling these an "official" reprints poses a problem.
They indeed were requested by a stamp dealer (Weiring) and eventually ended up in the hands of Goldner (a dubious dealer known for forgeries)
However the original was printed from 2 plates in 2 stages and the printing office only had 1 left (the underprint), so the design was altered.
Therefore these cannot be called reprints, they are nothing more than imitations and rightly called "FAKES".
Aside from these differences, the "reprints" are not printed with the special security paper which to the naked eye has an invisible network printed on with lead monoxide carbonate.

The word "POSTES", which is 11.5 to 12.5mm.in the original is 12.75 - 13 mm in the "reprint".
The space between the "P" and the left frame line is only 2.5 - 2.75mm as opposed to the original at 3 to 3.5mm. They also do not have the special security paper.
All have points facing downwards except for 1 very rare sheet of 150 1c stamps

A little research will easily describe the proper method of identification. The original plates had 4X150 stamps on them - each one different. They can be grouped into about 6 "varieties" with different letter positioning thereby making the "ruler" test only a first option.
