I wrote to the seller and told him it is a philatelic forgery. Subsequently he added that to the description. A plus in my books.
In fact, many of the sellers to whom I write thank me for the disclosure. so there are a lot of sellers who just are not very knowledgable and wish not to get a bad reputation.
His mention of "philatelic forgery" is in small letters well down from the image; the main listing still said "US stamp scott RJA24 Narcotic blue overprint used cv 1750.00". So I would not be quick to praise him for it, it was more like a CYA mention in case someone gets a cert on it.
