Is there any way you can show scans of both the real overprint and the fake one?
Thank you,

Hi Wes,
Yes, it is the same one. They are in my safe deposit box (even the fake one) as they are all together in a group, so I can't really show them right now. Suffice it to say it took me less than 1 second when seeing the fake one, for my heart to drop to my stomach. With all of the folks saying it's so easy to fake them I would say not much has gotten by. And remember, the most experienced collectors and auctioneers in the hobby have found these types of overprints in very original, unsearched collections. For anyone to say they are
all fakes would be idiocy, imho....
