This one caught my attention because the seller asked for the MNH catalogue value on the LastDodo forum.

The stamp looks too crisp, too clean, and too vibrant to have been printed by lithography in 1850. Offered on LastDodo.

That, kind of, was the general idea. However, the question is whether it is a Seguí or a reprint of it.
The seller has pulled the listing and is considering having it certified.

Well, you do not want to take away someone's hope.

Saw this one on ebay the other day. Made me laugh. It looks like a 5-year old tried to reperf a proof. I thought about buying it for the entertainment value but decided not. It sold for $5.50.

She looks like she has a bad hangover -- always the sign of a quality stamp.

Agree
Top of B on left should be level with shield
Cross at top should too far to right

Line on bottom should be cut out .

Lots of issues

This a very rare stamp unused with cv over 100,000$
