2020 55c Made of Hearts COUNTERFEIT

Add Mint 2020 Counterfeit Made of Hearts Stamp to Your Collection

Counterfeit US stamps have popped up every now and then throughout postal history, but in 2002, we began to see a noticeable rise in the illegal printing of modern stamps.  At first, it was mainly coil stamps, but in 2016 counterfeit panes began to appear as well as booklets.  In 2020, misleading advertisements appeared offering current stamps at heavily discounted prices to the unsuspecting stamp collector.  For this reason, the USPS recommends only purchasing Forever stamps through their website or other trusted stamp dealer sources.

This is your chance to see counterfeit US stamps up-close and compare them to your genuine versions.  The scandal surrounding these stamps makes them all the more interesting to collect.  And, since you won't be using them as postage, you have nothing to fear from owning them.  Order today!

The counterfeit Made of Hearts stamps were discovered in May 2021.
How to Distinguish them from the Real Deal…

• No tagging (originals have tagging) – this means the stamps are non-reactive under shortwave and longwave UV light
• Die cuts may have a different gauge than the genuine.
• Microprinting may be small and hard to read
• The “R” in FOREVER may not have a hook on the leg like the genuine stamp does.
