 Notice the Rays fill in most of the empty space in the top of the circle and printing is sharper . |

Looks genuine to me.
Forget the stamp - overprint is dead on.
Rays & pearls are notoriously off - very poor printing quality - esp on 25k value... |

Not much to elaborate. Sorry for the slang English. It just means the overprint is absolutely genuine in all respects. Compare to the genuine ones on that site. The overprint on your stamp is a bit under-inked - also very common - but other than that, it looks good to me... |

I would not exclude the possibiliy that it is perfed proof.The perforations look wrong (vertical side most especialy).The paper looks too white & smooth ?
Perhaps a pic of the back could help... |

Interesting idea Perf.
Do you have any proofs of these stamps? If so, please post!
I know very little about proofs of this series. I know there were essays & trial color essays made. I have not seen any with the overprint.
The paper looks correct to me for a stamp. As for the perfs, well, please show an example from this series with normal looking perfs! While obviously looking weird, the perfs on this stamp do not strike me as out of the ordinary from this series. |
