Looking for picture of specific postage stamp
« on: April 09, 2019, 01:38:41 PM »
I really would benefit from having a clear picture of this stamp.
It needs to be bought at the Post Office and be from a roll of stamps.
Thanks.

Walk into the post office and ask to see the roll.

They wont hand it to you until and unless you buy the whole roll. Maybe they sell singles, but I think they stopped that in favor of computer generated single stamps.

Do you think it is a good idea to show counterfeit stamps are being sold here?

Got these from a DDMS post, and it's not a roll, but here's a pic anyways.

Other pics...

I see a lot of differences between mine and yours.
The tiny black words printed on them. Micro dots near the flag fold. The blue section of the flag doesn't align well with the red and white stripes.

Wow, these really are a bad copy.
 And the forever is with a O and the real ones yours are spelled F0REVER Vs FOREVER(the fake).
Look at the color difference.
 Stars are much sharper on yours vs mine which are rounded.

Would love to compare the Love stamps I have, and one from the post office.

Easy to forge and good , why not?
 Once you have the machinery then your set, but what I don't understand if those that are forging these stamps, why make so many common errors? You have the equipment then make them exactly alike, it's not a dollar bill with watermarks and all.

On Amazon?

Yes, but now looking at the seller, seems to be suspended (https://www.amazon.com/sp?seller=A14E606SOL5GXM), and a new seller in his place with the same lightning deal prices.
They're selling book of 20 (and other books) for $8.50 which is 42.5 cents a stamp, which is 12.5 cent discount. Reasonable enough.
But as a 3p Amazon seller, it also means they are paying the 15% referral fee ($1.27) and the FBA fee of $2.41. Let's assume the seller is moving 3k units in this lightning deal, which costs $150 to run. So another 5 cents. That means the seller is left with $4.76, or 23.8 cents per stamp.

Too good to be true.

95% of the time fakes go through.

But if you are mailing important stuff I would go with real stamps.

I know someone who had a bunch of wedding invitations returned..

Don't think I used them yet, bought them for when I would need later.
But thinking of just returning them, if they are intact.
