Curious if any of these stamps are the real deal. The one that is one cent p.o. paid in black color is on glazed paper and has full gum. These stamps came from a collection which was giving to me and was started in 1909. I know there have been forgeries of these stamps and did some research on the internet but couldn't find out anything.
The title of Larry Lyons' 3 volume set: "The Identifier for Carriers, Locals, Fakes, Forgeries, and Bogus Posts of the United States" provides a good answer by itself that a large percent of the items found in collections are not real The Scott U.S. Spelialized catalog does not begin to scratch the surface of the non-genuine items.
