99.9% sure it is a forgery. These stamps are extremely rare and have been forged and reprinted ever since they were issued.

As noted, likely a forgery. If you have not seen or used the book "Album Weeds" it is a great resource that provides loads of interesting information. Can be lots of fun to review but should always be used along with other resources. The attached link should take you to the page describing this item.

Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
