| Gooding
#24F3. A very crude forgery. Most of the
stalked pearls in the side frames touch the inner or outer curved lines
of the frame. The curved lines of shading round the star ornament in top
right corner of the stamp is incomplete and missing a few lines.
The eyelid
is very narrow, giving the appearance of a much larger eye than the original.
The lettering in "CENT" is thinner than the genuine, giving appearance
of taller letters. The "o" in "Po" is shaped more like a square. The chain
pattern, round the outer edge of the dark central oval is small and often
broken. (Similar die as Gooding #21F4 and#22F3). |
