The 1c stamp is a very poor attempt at faking a coil.
The 5c stamp is a bit better, but still a crude fake.

Interestingly - I stumbled onto this stamp below last night and thought it was either a terrible 318, or a well-done forgery - either way, I took a pic and cannot locate the stamp today! Anyhow, just posting the image since I happened to take the picture. Cheers!

The two original stamps are certainly fakes, as stated above.

TheBrian: It is impossible to tell what you have. The stamp is not flat on a table, and photographs usually come with more or less bad lens distortion. A hires scan in a flatbed scanner is necessary to start with. My guess on this one is: it is also a fake.

Drkohler - I assumed out of the gate it was a fake/cut stamp. the fact that I cannot even find it also speaks to not giving it much an afterthought but appreciate the perspective. I just had literally taken the photo the night before reading this thread and thought I would share one of mine as well! Have a great weekend and be well.
