United States, Scott #5657-FORGERY, used(o), 2022 coil definitive, Three Flags, counter issue value (58 cents), serpentine die cut simulated perforated: 11 vertical (imperforated at top and bottom, die cut perforations at the sides), non-water soluble adhesive panes, 'USPS' in micro print above the stars in the third lower flag signifying an Ashton Potter USA printing, offset lithography printed, supposedly by Ashton Potter USA Limited as a coil perforated 9½ vertical, but this stamp perforated: 11, hence stamp is a forgery as Ashton Potter coils, as noted by the micro print location above the blue stars, are only perforated 9½ vertical, as this stamp is perforated 11, THEREFORE, it must be a forgery, red, white, dark and light blue, Scott 2019 Catalog Value: unlisted, nicely centered, horizontal, black-inked, wavy line cancellation over the front of the stamp, good perforations, stamp was soaked from the mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black trimmed card stock for an attractive album mounting; forgery stamp as a reference warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.
Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.68 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used. If not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
