I am curious about these two. They appear to have gum on them. But the color variation is curious. Anyone know if these are real? If so what is the value? The darker green stamp has a glaze over it, and clearly has gum. The lighter green stamp looks like it may have gum on the back, but clearly different than the stamp on the left.

If this is real is it 1867?

Thank you.

Early Vatican stamps were massively copied, reproduced, or counterfeited -- choose the term you like -- years ago and keep appearing. I'd guess that's what these are. I have a bunch because who can afford the real thing? They always look brand new, it seems, like yours.
