These were sold as Canal Zone #1 - #3. Knowing they were heavily forged from the start, I sent them to PSE, who sent them to 5 different CZ experts before finally declaring them to be faked overprints. To their credit, the seller did refund my money, including cert costs, but still .....CAVEAT EMPTOR - and know when to send valuable or unusual items for certification.

Again, these are stamps that collectors should simply not be buying - for serious money, at least - without a certificate.
