Not a specialist. Going by my example of the series, yours is a crude forgery ? Sc # 36 1902 2ch on 25p Surcharge.  |

Thank you Rod.
Thath explains why the color of the stamp is different, from the one you've posted. |

post_pe, yours is a different value. It looks like a '0' where rod shows a 25 poon example.
I do not think the colour difference is an issue as you are looking at different stamps.
I infer from rod's post he is pointing out that the printing of your stamp is crude compared to his example from the series.
Your stamp looks like it is supposed to be a 10 poon stamp. Which does raise the question about the colour for and overprint on that value, explaining why it differs from the catalogued one. |

The stamp in the OP is a forgery, more specifically a bogus creation.
1. The poor-quality soft paper, resultant rough perfs and watery printing are not those of the genuine.
2. There is no such color/value for the genuine basic stamps. The 10p stamps are blue, otherwise this is trying to be an imaginary (?)c. value. Badly incorrect colors are known on other forgeries on soft paper.
3. The 1ch surcharge exists only on the 25p value as far as I know. |

Yes the number is not same with the one posted for comparison.
I hurried to write my question and overlooked the substantial gap in the the detail. The value is completely different. I was focused mainly on the color which , still differs substantially, from the one used to make the 10 p. stamp. I can't say weather this is a rezolt of a chemical manipulation or it's just inaccuracy of the printer( possible a forger). Is the rough
appearance of the stamp indicating
that it might be a counterfeit ? |

Give less attention to the color, and more attention to the vast difference in quality of the print detail and cut of the perforations between your specimen and the genuine one. |

Agree with NSK. The overall rough appearance and the wrong color and the indefinite denomination all add up to this being a forgery. If you are convinced otherwise, send it in to Sergio Sismondo or another expert of your choice. |

Interesting. These must be fairly common in older collections. Seeing this thread, I remembered seeing a page shown from a small collection in a current auction with similar stamps. Took a screen shot but, unfortunately, very poor resolution. Same thing though with coarse printing and no colour match.  |

This 1 Ch./5 P. phantasy comes in different versions from several forgers - may be they simply copied the 'tourist sheets' of the curio dealer concurrence?
The one shown by John A. is a part of the so called 'german forgeries'. They come on quality pure white paper, in fact more white than the originals. They show a strong paper vertical paper grid not found with originals, viz.

Printing is elaborate, fake postmarks were copied from genuine strikes, mostly FUSAN double circle latin resp. Busan native bisected type. These are the most deceiving fakes of old Korean stamps - if not turned around for checking the paper mesh.

Other 1 Ch./5 P. fakes:
Well known are the crude 5 P. fakes showing the writing " .C POON" instead.
They come with the "1 Chon" surcharge as well:  https://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=42578 |
