1861. 1, 2, 5, 10 & 12 1/2 Cents. I feel it quite infra dig. to have to chronicle such rubbish as these Nova Scotia imitations. If none of the forgeries offered to the public were any better than these, the raison d’etre of these Spud Papers would be no more. The 10 Cents, accompanying […]
1865-6. 1d., 2d., 6d. & 1s. Of our readers will kindly look back at the forgeries of Dominica and St. Christopher described lately, they will see that there is a remarkable likeness between them and the counterfeits now to be described. The fact is, that the government engravers have made the same head of Her […]

1870. 1d. & 6d. Genuine Typographed (i.e., engraved in epargne), on thin white paper, slightly glacé. Watermark, crown and cc; perforated 12 1/2. Both stamps are from the same die. The monetary value is not always put exactly in the center of the value-label. In the copies now before me, the ONE PENNY is printed […]
1874. 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 & 25 Novch. These “Novch.” are probably the equivalents of the Austrian Kreuzer and Soldi; and, from there being a 7 in the set, it is possible that we may see a 7 Kr. and 7 Soldi for Austria soon. This, of course, is only a […]
1874. 1d., 6d. & 1/. I am pleased to be able to say that the forgeries of these stamps are not likely to prove dangerous, as the originals are most beautifully executed. If our English engravers would take the trouble to invent new designs, I think we might challenge even the American Bank Note Company […]
1865-66. 1d., 2d., 6d. & 1s. The head on these stamps seems to be a favorite with the engravers, and it is to be found on a number of our colonial stamps, such as Dominica, St. Christopher, etc. All the forgeries bearing an imitation of this head, which will be found described in various parts […]
1866. 5, 10, and 20 Centavos. I have a New-Year’s gift for our readers, in the shape of three Peruvian forgeries. Considering the difficulties of counterfeiting any of the works which issue from the atelier of the American Bank Note Company, these imitations are fairly done, the 20 C. being the best of the trio.
