Here’s Your Chance to Own a Collection of Counterfeit U.S. Commemorative Stamps
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 get your own collection of 25 counterfeit commemorative stamps issued between 2018 and 2023. With your magnifying glass, you’ll be able to spot differences in die cut measurements, microprinting, and colors. Using a UV light, you can detect missing tagging that is on the genuine stamps.
