FORGERY. Very convincing example of what appears to be the rare 1865 issue 5c rose imperf Vancouver Island "Victoria". The stamp is actually a skillfully rebacked #5 (the perforated version of this stamp). A genuine #3 catalogues in Scott at US$11,000.00 ($13,750.00 CDN!). This stamp is so well done that it would easily pass a casual inspection. Examination under high magnification and a dip in watermark fluid are required to uncover the truth! As nice a "spacefiller" for this pre-Confederation rarity as you'll find. Estimate =
