Sorting and Identifying some Ceylon stamps this evening and I came across these two stamps....
The one on the right is a Scott# 62, issued in 1868, watermark 1, Perf 14, Typo. 2008 CV $50.
Well the one on the left is the one in question. It has some rough perfs on the side and bottom, but the top perf is 11 while the sides look to be 12. As for a watermark, there is none.
This Three pence stamp comes in Scott# 59 watermark 1, Perf 12.5 and Scott# 62 like the one above. I cannot find any other 3 pence stamp like this in the Scott Catalog.
What are your thoughts??? Is it a Forgery?
