Some can help on these stamps ?
Genuine or forgeries ?

If you know a good website with info on this matter, please tell.
Before i used a website forgeriesofitalianstates.com but apparently it doesn't exist anymore.

This site will help somewhat in showing the original but it is lacking in completeness
Roman States

Are the stamps yours or from a sale
These if genuine go up to $3-$4M. Lots of value here if genuine
They look too good and too fresh for 150 yrs old stamps

The image is too small and out of focus to assist further - I can easily pick out forgeries but not these
Roman States forgeries are VERY plentiful and generally quite well done

I will eventually sort the 200+ I have and blog it - "eventually"

sforgca, Thank you for the info.
The stamps are proposed to me for an exchange, but i will not accept them.
I search used (cancelled) stamps anyway.

I think indeed they are too fresh.
Some of the perforated ones have the wrong perforation too.

If you would blog about these Papal Stamps, that would certainly be a plusvalue !
