United States: Stamps: Confederate (CSA) Facsimiles and Private Proofs  
All items are guaranteed to be as described and may be viewed on approval. Payment plans are available.
Since at least the early 1900s, collectors and dealers have privately created "reprints" and "proofs" and a large number of facsimiles of CSA stamps. The reprints and proofs have sometimes been made with the intent of sharing information on sheet position / cliche differences, etc. The facsimiles were largely created to provide inexpensive images of CSA stamps to a wide range of novice collectors who could never afford to have the real stamps. Several printings were made with differing papers, back printing, etc. and have only recently (ca. 2017) been well documented in the literature. More recently (2000 onward?) facsimiles / reproductions have been made of the facsimiles -- all that I have seen are lightly marked "Facsimile" on the reverse. The collecability of the facsimiles, and even more so their reproductions, is up for debate. However, since they do exist and because unscrupulous sellers might try to defraud novice collectors with them, I believe that it is useful for properly marked items to be available for their educational and reference value as long as they are correctly described and at a nominal price to cover their cost of handling.

Confederate Facsimiles: Group of 12 "mint". Sometimes described as reprints, these are facsimiles made for collectors (I believe that these date from the 1950s), but they are still quite collectible. All have back printing "Facsimile / No. xxx", however this group contains at least five different types / colors of backprinting. The top row has been backprinted ONCE with numbers 202 and 205 in dark gray, 207 in black, 211 in blue gray, and 212 in light gray. The middle row has been backprinted ONCE IN WHITE (I may have previously accidentally offered such items as not having backprints) with numbers 200, 209, and 213. The third row has been backprinted TWICE: 201 and 204 in dark gray and white; 203 and 208 in light gray and white. The white backprinting is extremely hard to see. All are on varying grades of coarse yellowish paper except 213 which is on good quality bright white paper. I do not know for sure, but I suspect that the various backprinting versions of these exist for other numbers as well -- it would make for an interesting study.

Confederate Facsimiles: Group of 14 "mint". Sometimes described as reprints, these are facsimiles made for collectors (I believe that these date from the 1950s). On the back each bears the text "Facsimile / No. XX" (numbered 1 to 14). While these initially look Imperforate, they are die cut but just held together in a block by tiny breaks in the cutting. The 12-block is intact, but weak due to the very tiny connectors. The pair was originally attached somewhere along the bottom of the 12-block. Ungummed on yellowish-white paper. All of consistent printing quality and appearance on thick white paper. All excellent quality with full margins. These are quite collectible. I have never before seen this type with die-cutting and the tiny connectors (breaks in the die cutting).

Confederate Facsimiles: Group of 7 "mint" (Scott #1-5, 8, 10). Sometimes described as reprints, these are facsimiles made for collectors (I believe that these date from the 1950s), but they are still quite actively collectible. This group is different than those I have previously had. On the backside all have text in black on the back; five have "FACSIMILE" all caps in small type; #3 has "FACSIMILE" INVERTED, in all caps, much larger type; and #10 has "Facsimile" in mixed case, small type. All are "VF" with full margins; #1 has a small toned spot and #10 has a small thin on the back text.

Confederate Facsimile: Scott #13 "mint", VF, light bend. Sometimes described as reprints, these are facsimiles made for collectors (I believe that these date from the 1950s). On the back each bears the text "Facsimile / No. XX" (numbered 1 to 14) -- this is 13. While these initially look Imperforate, they are die cut but just held together in a block by tiny breaks in the cutting. Ungummed on yellowish-white paper. Typical, for these facsimiles, printing quality and appearance on thick white paper. Excellent quality with full margins. These are quite collectible. This type, with die-cutting and the tiny connectors (breaks in the die cutting), seems to be scarcer.

Confederate Reproductions of Facsimiles: Group of 12 imperforate "sheets" of 25 "stamps" each. These are modern, crudely made, REPRODUCTIONS of the 1950s facsimiles, obtained on the open market (not from the maker, who is unknown to me). The word "Facsimile" is printed on the back of each "stamp". Total of 300 "stamps". These are offered only for their educational and reference value. Would be a useful addition to a forgery reference collection and also would be useful to educate other collectors, such as stamp club members, of the kinds of things to watch out for.
