(Probably all forgeries, reduced sizes)
I suspect all the above images to be forgeries.
The above stamp is the 3rd forgery described in Album Weeds. There is a line above 'real', which is not present in the genuine stamps.

(Other forgeries, reduced sizes)

Forgeries, example:

(left genuine, right forgery: images obtained thanks to Forgeries idenfication site of Bill Claghorn)
The genuine stamp has the left central leaf branch ending well above the top of the 1 denomination. In the forgery on the right it is ending too low. I have also seen the 1/2 r of this forgery. All the forgeries I've seen were cancelled with a thick black horizontal bar.
1 c green 2 c orange 5 c blue 10 c red 20 c brown 25 c lilac 50 c yellow 75 c blue 1 P gold
Two types of these stamps exist; without underprint (1880) and with underprint (1881).
Surcharged (1883)

Many of these surcharges exist in two or three types. The surcharges were applied to the stamps without and with underprint. Many errors also exist (all very rare).

Forgeries, example:

(Forgery, image obtained thanks to Forgeries idenfication site of Bill Claghorn)
The genuine stamps can be identified by a dot after "ATLANTICO" (the above forgery has no dot), and three clear white lines above "ANT" of "ATLANTICO" (only two clear white lines above "ANT" of "ATLANTICO" are present in the above forgery).

For the specialist: two colours exist of the values 2 c, 4 c, 5 c and 10 c: a bronish olive was issued in 1904 and a greenish olive was issued in 1913.

(At least the following other values exist: 3 c blue, 30 c red)

The following other values of the above stamp exist: 25 c green, 50 c yellow, 1 P brown, 5 P blue and 10 P red.

The above stamp exists in the following values: 1 c green and blue, 5 c blue, 10 c green, 25 c brown, 35 c red, 50 c violet, 1 $ green, 2 $ blue and 5 $ orange.

There exist some bogus issues of 1866 prepared by J.M Chute (and probably S. Allan Taylor) of Boston USA; they have the arms of the Dominican Republic in an ellipse with the word 'CORREOS' above it and the value (I have only seen 'DOS REALES') below it. There is no country name indicated. I have seen the following values: 2 r blue, 2 r brown, 2 r red, 2 r green and 2 r orange (all cancelled).
