Gooding #22F1 Lithographed on strongly colored wove paper, rather thinner than
that of the genuine. Most of the stalked pearls in the side-frames touch
either the inner or outer curved lines of the frame. The thin, inner line of
the frame, below the value, is broken and incomplete. The 'T' of 'CENT' has
no bottom stroke. The line which marks the green part of the upper lip is too
short, and does not go to the end of the profile. The stop before 'CORREOS'
is a good deal nearer the 'C' than to the end of the label; and the stop
after 'CORREOS' is rather nearer to the 'S' than to the end of the label. (Similar
die as Gooding #21F1, 23F1 and 24F1)
Gooding #22F2 Miguel Segui Forgery. Typographed on medium yellowish paper.
The second 'R' in 'CORREOS' is larger than the first. The bottom pearl on the
top right corner is lacking shading. The eyebrow is formed by an even width
line. The white curved line at the neckline is cut too wide. There is a break
in second line from the top at the bottom left corner, where it does not
touch the right side of the star. (Similar die as Gooding #21F3 and #24F2)
Gooding #22F3 A very crude forgery and issued in pale green.
Most of the stalked pearls in the side-frames touch the inner or outer curved
lines of the frame. The second 'R' in 'CORREOS' is broken just below the top loop.
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 '
Gooding #22F4 Very crude and easily distinguishable forgery. The corner
ornaments are crude, with pearls not joined and there is no shading in the
corner stars. The circle of pears around the bust are represented by dots.
The ‘6’ almost resembles a ‘0’. There is no period between ‘CENT’ and ‘Po’.
Gooding #22F5 Printed in Black. Second ‘R’ in ‘CORREOS’ is wide. Circles
within the oval are too large. Shape-lines on face and neck are spaced too
far apart. All of the pearls are hollow compared to partially filled in the
genuine.
