1882-92 Numeral Issue 2c Forgeries

Like the 1c forgery of this issue, this forgery is also very close to the original. Stamps #1 and #2 are genuine stamps. Stamps #3 and #4 are the forgeries. In the first set of scans, the genuine stamps have dots along the solid line at the left of the design. The forgery has no dots and has a gap over the "E" in Republic. In the second set of scans, the genuine stamps are about 3/4 mm taller than the forgeries. Thanks to Manfred Beier for pointing out some of these differences.
