Return To Catalogue - Large dragon issues of 1865 - China
A port in China.
2 cents red 4 cents lilac 8 cents blue 16 cents green Surcharged with value in cand
(Reduced size)
'1 CAND' on 2 c red '1 CAND' on 4 c lilac '1 CAND' on 8 c blue '1 CAND' on 16 c green '3 CANDS' on 2 c red '3 CANDS' on 16 c green
Two forgeries of the 2 c are described in 'Album Weeds', in the first forgery there is a dot behind 'CENTS' (the genuine stamp doesn't have such a dot).
(Forgeries)
The above forgeries can be found in 'The Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries', but they were probably not produced by Fournier, only sold. I think they were made by Spiro.
Other forgeries, examples:
(Forgeries with a very small circular cancel 'SHANGHAI 1-7 91 1-2 N')
