Help On 5$ Marshall Perf 12 Condition

hi all,

i got this one in the presumption it was altered and/or re-perfed judging from a weak unclear phone photo.
so did not pay the world ;-)

but now I am not so sure..i got it today and well....i am not so sure any more it is defected..please look for yourselves.

would love some expert opinions..and if I am missing something or doing something off with matching or lining the perfs (see picture 3 and 4) please have patience and (if possible) explain my mistake for future.

Doesn't look reperfed to me though I'd want to inspect closer to be sure.

thank you for your opinion!

Some of the perfs on the right side of the front of the stamp do look a little like reperfs. It's possible to punch neater holes in a stamp where the real perfs are messy without reperfing the entire side of the stamp. But . . . the other three sides look genuine, and I'm really not convinced the right-hand perfs aren't real. I'd just call it genuine, not reperfed since I think that's probably right.

Nice Scott 313

Based upon the supplied images, the perfs look fine to me. Note: when using a digital compare always start with a stamp image that is perfectly straight. If the stamp image is not straight, it is difficult to draw an accurate conclusion.

Based on your pictures, the perfs look ok to me.
