Weeds in Your Collection #9 - Nova Scotia
Weeds In Your Collection #10 - New Brunswick 1851 - 1863
As we've come to expect, the articles are well illustrated with examples of authentic stamps, forgeries and fun collateral.
Collectors of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will appreciate the detailed guidance provided here, but all collectors will learn and enjoy. A sincere thanks to Nelson for the significant contribution he's made to the club's online knowledge base!

Excellent articles!
One of my main focuses is Nova Scotia. Both genuine and forgeries. I have a number of shilling forgeries and one in particular absolutely baffles me. I bought it as a forgery. When I took it to a (now retired) appraiser, after looking at it so much my eyes were spinning, I asked him to take a look at it and see if he could figure out which forgery it was. I can identify all the other forgers of my pence and cents and shilling issues but this one has me confused. I cannot find anything on it that matches a forgery, it matches up with a genuine issue. So I thought reprint but the paper doesn't match up (some are obvious with a blue tinge on the front and then flip it over and it's white paper). The thickness of this one doesn't match a reprint. So I took it to my buddy who was an appraiser and he looked that thing up and down and inside out and finally looked up at me and said "I honestly don't know." So, that looming thought lingers in my mind, do I actually have a genuine shilling or is it a darn good forgery?
