I'm inclined to think this a revenue stamp, but the printing is so crude that I wonder whether it's even genuine. Seems rouletted and the paper is rather thin. Any help appreciated.  |

I don't think it is a revenue. I have it as 1882 I have mine as a possible forgery,  |

Hi.
EMaxim's stamp is listed in Yvert catalogue (#FP47,year 1887)as "fiscal-postal" : revenue stamp authorized for postage but on internal mail only. |

I like Perf12's idea: 1888 lithographed version. It's what I'd thought at first. But, the relatively poor quality image made me question its authenticity. Here's a scan of that same 3 Bolivares along with two others from the 1888 lithographed series. What do you think?  |

On second thought: Is it possible that my 3 Bolivares is printer's waste after all? That the rouletting is fraudulent? How could that be determined? |

Yes, rouletted 8. Are fakes or forgeries known to be rouletted otherwise? |
