Add Mint 2021 Counterfeit Western Wear Stamps to Your Collection

Counterfeit US stamps have popped up every now and then throughout postal history, but in 2002, we began to see a noticeable rise in the illegal printing of modern stamps.  At first, it was mainly coil stamps, but in 2016 counterfeit panes and booklets were discovered.  In 2020, misleading advertisements began appearing that offered current stamps at heavily discounted prices to the unsuspecting stamp customer and collector.  For this reason, the USPS recommends only purchasing Forever stamps through their website or other trusted stamp dealer sources.
This is your chance to see counterfeit US stamps up close and compare them to your genuine versions.  The scandal surrounding these stamps makes them all the more interesting to collect.  And, since you won't be using them as postage, you have nothing to fear from owning them.  
These Western Wear stamps were discovered on March 24, 2022.

How to Distinguish the counterfeit Western Wear stamps from the Real Deal…

• Die cuts are crude and uneven
• Non-reactive to shortwave and longwave UV lights
• Peaks and valleys of die cuts are different on some of the stamps in the booklet pane.  The pattern is the same for all the genuine stamps.
