Who The Heck Is Expertizing US Revenues For Pse?

"Scans as the ones we see on this site are not adequate."

Often I would agree completely. But these two items are so obviously wrong that egregious is really the only word.

Prepping some material to list on ebay and came across this example of R53b, which would be the perfect candidate to "manufacture" the supposed R53a shown at the beginning of this thread. Compare the position of the margins and perforations on this stamp with that of the bogus one, which I have duplicated at right (scale of the two images are slightly different). It would result in 3 huge margins with the design in at left.

you should have trimmed it and sent it in for cert as a test.

Why should I spend my money to create a bogus item in some futile attempt to prove PSE incompetent? Anyone even remotely knowledgeable about U.S. 1st issue revenues can tell at a glance that both the items in the OP are utterly fake.
