I can see it when I click on the link.

The description says "British Columbia 1867 Surcharged Forgeries #11, 15"

Clue: If I am right, it makes the lot more valuable than the sale price.

I meant the other half of the statement.

Out of curiosity, do you think the 10c is a Spiro?

Left stamp might be ok, and a scarce perf 12 1/2 (#16), though bottom and right perfs look a bit too clean

Cjd, yes I think the 10c is a Spiro forgery, based on the information an illustration on the excellent Stampforgeries.com website. http://stampforgeries.com/forged-st...olumbia/#top

Archerg, yes, I believe the 25c stamp is genuine, and not a forgery. My preliminary investigation seems to indicate that it is the perf 14 variety though. Whether there is reperfs or not, I think the lot is worth more than the BIN price.
