jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 02/04/2019 02:03 am Well I don't know much about the host coin that purports to be a Royalist issue from Durango. Nor to I know much about the mintmarks used in the Philippines but I can see that this one is supposed to be from the time of Isabel II, eldest daughter of Ferdinand VII. The stamp depth is usually even, most show some variance. Each element of the design appears broader, as if done with a very worn stamp, yet each element is quite distinctly rendered, unlike what you would expect from a worn stamp. If there is a critical error, I guess I've missed it. Edited by jgenn 02/04/2019 02:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 02/04/2019 02:22 am That stamp is a type first reported in the 1960's as a forgery. I would class the stamp as a numismatic forgery. Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 02/15/2019 5:22 pm Went for strong $$$ as oddball host variants of these two stamps generally do. You really have to know your stuff in this series. Report this Post to the Staff
