Always some "nut-job" out there trying to exploit the masses with otherwise good notes doctored to appear like something special for a premium.

Dispargum New Member Germany 28 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 08:19 am I suppose that there are more fakes around than original stamped issues. Especially stamped Swastikas are popular among ingenuous collectors abroad. You can buy rubber stamps elsewhere with WWII referneces. So, you can easily stamp your own notes. That's why I generally do not buy stamped banknotes related to WWII Edited by Dispargum 12/16/2021 10:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 11:33 am While there are some genuine WWII notes that have stamps applied to them like German military notes in Greece, the fakers (with one exception) have yet to figure this out. Report this Post to the Staff
walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2571 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 1:51 pm Remember that the majority are not overprinted with a stamp. Those that are stamped are generally rectangular functional stamps (with descriptions) not fancy symbols. About 10-15 years ago, we had a few unscrupulous sellers stamping our cheap 1967 Centennial $1 notes (gold maple leafs) & then again our 1986 $2 with polar bears. People (noobs) were paying double or triple what the note would have been worth. I had heard that similar scams had hit the US market so beware folks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff
xavierz27 Valued Member United Kingdom 129 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 11:07 am This is currently on ebay with 11 bids, as a "US Army" overprint... And this... I've noticed the seller now rarely makes any claims for these spurious overprints Report this Post to the Staff
