I am starting to look at the overprint stamps of bermuda, and I know there are a lot of forgeries. I found this page that tells how to pick out the forgeries:

http://stampforgeries.com/forged-stamps-of-bermuda-album-weeds/

Then I find this ebay listing with a RPS cert.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bermuda-1875-QV-1d-on-3d-yellow-buff-RPS-Cert-very-fine-used-SG-16-Sc-4/362267337568?hash=item5458d0e360:g:4TEAAOSwcGBappOU

Now according to the album weeds site, this should be a fake. Am I reading this wrong? Does anyone have a better site for guidelines?

Thanks,
Sean

re: Bermuda Overprints

If the image of the genuine overprint on the Stamp Forgeries page is of a genuine overprint, I would say that the overprint on the ebay image matches and is genuine.

re: Bermuda Overprints

Hi Michael,

I thought that when I first read that page, but then ignored the images since it doesn't really specify which is which. I try to compare the descriptions to images of stamps on ebay. I was hoping someone could at least tell me if those descriptions are correct or not.

re: Bermuda Overprints

According to the description, this looks like a good one, including the E being more directly under the O than the examples on the forgeries page.
