This is listed as a 487 pair. It is not a very expensive pair, so not sure why someone would fake it, and since I don't think there is an imperf that matches this, how would they? That being said, these perforations look terrible. Besides not being punched well, the line goes up and down like a roller coaster. Can real perfs look this bad?

If the pins are worn or not aligned, yes, they can cut holes like that. I don't think that this is a fake.

I don't see anything wrong with it either, It's pretty typical.

Several "authors" write that rotary press coils are never fake.
I agree that the perfs look genuine rather than the perfect, round, clean, fake perfs.
