I found these in the back of a Liberty Stamp album that I am working through. My assumption is they are all counterfeit. Would that be a correct assumption?
Thanks for your input.

Even though I no longer collect Tasco booklets, I have kept a website I developed about the booklets on line. Has a lot more information than the stampsmater.com site:

If you are interested in more information there is this work published in 2017 by the Confederate Stamp Alliance. I am not sure if it is still available from the organization. It is quite extensive.

From looking at arm's length, if the lower left stamp is engraved, it's genuine. Don't know where the inflated value comes from, though.

Yes, an original issue. But, move the decimal point one place to the left on that estimate.
