5 Mk Viking Ship, Upside Down


Inverted center error stamps are of course rarities because that is the major error in the production of the stamps. There are many different forgeries about this inverted center 5 Mk Viking. 

The stamp above is genuine and its trade mark is: FRAME OFF CENTERED. The length of the black frame (outside measure) is 29.50 mm. Source: Pertti Hujala, Finland.

The length of the black frame below is 30.23 mm. That is a forgery, printed on quite white paper and it is "too well centered". There are many other forgeries about this inverted center Viking 5 Mk. The white paper forgeries eventually belong to the early production. If you are not careful, you will be deceived easily with this quality forgery.
