COUNTERFEIT STAMPS

Over the years, there have been countless forgeries, counterfeits, and fakes that have entered the stamp collecting world.  Some people even went to Federal prison for creating them!

Scott Catalogue defines forgeries as “stamps produced to defraud collectors,” while counterfeits are “to defraud stamp-issuing governments.”  Counterfeit stamps are listed in Scott Specialized Catalogue with a (CF--) designation.
