Scouting for boys. If I sent this in to PSE I'd have a bunch of XF gems, if only I believed in their rubbish.  |

Really awesome Spanish collection, spain_1850!  But I have a question, why does, sometimes, on some of the 1856-57 issues, the face of the queen looks so different, like the neck and the eye? Quote:
Go here and you can look at pictures of at least 50,000 multiples from around the World:

Captain Stamp - Good eye. Much of the differences you see is due to plate wear. But, some of the differences are due to new cliches with slight differences, to curb counterfeiting. This is why there are 5 different types. None, of course, noted in Scott. Most of the differences are in the 4c issues as they were the workhorse stamp of the day, and the most postally counterfeited. |

Thanks for the information, spain_1850!! I see pretty often that a lot of things are not written in the Scott catalogue!

Philippines Scott 11. This block of 4 represents the 4 types that are repeated in the sheet.  Something you don't see everyday: Norway, London overprints of 1943, considered to be rarities among Norwegian war issues. Complete set, in pairs.  |

These are known as modern counterfeits to fool the post office. The details aren't bad but you need to see them next to real ones to spot the differences.  |
