Thirty- five stamps, all 1902-1953 period issues. Mint Hinged and used (some both). Generally common stamps, except for the first three (#4b mint and used and #4c, all perf 14 x 14). The overprint on the mint stamp looks extremely suspicious and appears to be the variety with no dot after "PENI" but inspection under microscope shows some tiny bits of blue ink where the dot should appear. Also, the "U" in Niue looks like a "V" and the lettering is larger and sharper than the genuine. The consignor thinks it to be a counterfeit. The other two, used stamps, appear to be genuine. All identified and valued by the consignor. Owner's 2023 Scott US$974.90 =
