Sperati forgery of CSA #5

CSA #5 - Sperati Forgery   

Whether you collect forgeries or are avoiding them, this article will help  you identify the dangerous Sperati forgery of the Confederate #5 stamp.  The Sperati is valuable, but not as valuable as the genuine stamp.



Beware of the Scott #315 Imperforate
Looks like a 315, but it is a fake

Watch out for this one.  There are so many fakes out there.  This stamp should either be purchased with a certificate or in pairs to make sure it is not a cut down Scott #304.  So many jumbo 304's are being destroyed to make fake #315's, that someday the jumbo 304 will definitely command a premium, as they become more rare.
