Two Variants Of Sc#9 Peru 1860-61

Compare the stamp you just posted with the first stamp in your original post. Focus on the zig-zag lines. They are nothing alike. The first stamp's lines have uneven spacing between them and many sections of lines sporadically missing. Look at the Llama's back. On the first stamp the back is a straight line. In the stamp above it is curved. The background lines of the Llama are missing in the first stamp and complete in the stamp above. There are countless other differences.

If you want to have an honest conversation let us do that. If you just want to see the first stamp as genuine no matter what than go for it. Neither of the stamps in the original post are genuine. That is the truth.

You are absolutely right about the second stamp, a fake without a doubt, but I do not agree that the first one is not original, it may not be the best print of its kind but it has shared details that only an original could have, in this respect the angle meshes I think are like a fingerprint since I consider it very difficult to achieve such accuracy in the separation of the vertical and horizontal lines.
On the other hand, the details you mention, such as the absence of lines, are included in Bustamante as a variant… Naturally I may be mistaken, but it really is my honest opinion, this is not a valuable or rare stamp, I can get another one if it turns out to be fake, in fact I prefer to remove it from the album and leave the space temporarily if I have any doubt, but I really believe in its originality, I would need to see a similar example recognized as fake…

Confirmation Bias:

People's tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with their existing beliefs.

No harm, that's a good argument to discredit me, but not to the stamp. I think it's a 100% flaw of people to draw their own conclusions and debate them.

I personally think that you might have a good stamp, but you won't really know unless you send it in. Why don't we just move on to other topics? If you ever send it in, come back to this thread and update with your results.

It is certainly a good ending point, the cards have already been put on the table...
