I found these two in an old album I purchased but given their excellent condition, catalog value and a caveat in my Scott's Specialized, I suspect they could be counterfeit. I collect worldwide but don't know enough about Mexican stamps to make a determination regarding their authenticity. I would certainly appreciate any comments. Thanks!

They were remaindered and sold into the collector market. Genuine postage stamps will have a district name overprinted on them. Not counterfeit, just not issued as such.
