Sorry about that.  Didn't mean to mislead anybody.  I guess I should have left this to somebody else with more knowledge about numbers and such. Won't happen again.

No worries Daniel, I've posted restamps myself.  This is how I'm learning to spot fakes, so post away!    :)

Paul, would you tell me what I can go back and look at on this block to show me what's wrong so I can see for myself and learn about spotting these?



Thanks,

I'm thinking it's a real stamp...
The picture angles seem funny, but it looks OK.

Block #3935440 date cast F-6-8   engine code T0819JH
Seller: cnjr107  in West TN.

Tapered, funky, but I think it's OK.

Wow!  I probably haven't posted 50+ "orphans" because I assumed they were restamps.    :-[
