On one hand:
It is not on the forgeries site:
http://stampforgeries.com/forged-st...philippines/Scott said something that I didn't understand, about retouch:
"Original state: The medallion is surrounded
by a heavy line of color of nearly even thick·
ness, touching the line below "Fdipmas": the
opening in the hair above the temple is narrow
and pointed.
1st retouch: The line around the medallion Is
thin. except at the upper right. and does not
touch the horizontal line above 11: the opening
in the hair is slightly wider and rounded: t.he
lock of hair above the forehead is shaped like
a broad ·v· and ends in a point; there is a faint
white line below it, which is not found on the
original. The shape of the hair and the width of
the white line vary.
2nd retouch: The lock of hair is less pointed:
the white line is much broader."
On the other hand:
I found it in a filler-like pack of stamps.

So? Real or fake?
