Vintage Rose Sheet of 20 USPS Forever Stamps Wedding, Anniversary, Celebration, Flowers (5 Sheets of 20 Stamps)

Product gets a 1 star as every indication showed them to be counterfeit. Prior to purchasing the stamps, I had concerns prior to purchase. I saw reports that this stamp design is highly duplicated. I did make efforts prior to my purchase to verify that these stamps were official. Anyhow, when the stamps came in I was still concerned since they were going on wedding invitations. The last thing I wanted was to have all the invitations come back (as I have also read about). On one of my searches about fraudulent Vintage Rose stamps, I came across a stamp collector group that actually had begun a discussion of this stamp and had a couple picture up. When I looked at their pictures and looked at my stamp with magnification, I could see some shared traits. I ended up posting zoomed pictures of my stamps, and those that voiced opinions all stated they were not real, and there were a variety of points brought up: pixilated image, broken stem, wrong die cut, wrong corners, wrong #5. I spotted the lack of variation in the heart and misalignment of the image as well.After returning these stamps, I spoke with my local PostMaster. And he tracked me down some of the few of these stamps still in Post Offices and had them transferred in for me! Not only am I certain they are real and my invitations will go through.Three days after the return and refund, I was contacted contacted by the Boston postal inspector fraud unit. She stated that she could not divulge how, but their scanning machines can pick up the frauds. I stated I heard they can get through. She stated that yes, there are exceptions and some get through but she claimed that was not the norm. My point it to you all, if you are like me and loved the stamp for your wedding, be sure to verify the authenticity of your stamps as it would be a shame to have your invitations be non-deliverable for counterfeit postage.Hope this is a help to someone else.Edit: Checked in today and noticed that the photos I thought I had attached were not here. The following show the points I mentioned above.

I bought these for my wedding invites and love how beautiful and classy they look. I initially went on USPS's website to order these but found they were no longer available. I was pretty upset as I preferred this design to the ones the post office was currently offering. So I went in search of these stamps and low & behold Amazon had them!

These are gorgeous stamps. I wanted something different than the typical stamps at the post office, and everything they had was really colorful - I ordered these for my wedding invites and just wanted something neutral. They were just perfect and I would definitely order again.

I used these to mail out my wedding "thank you" cards, and they were perfect! Arrived on time, decent price, and they are GORGEOUS! I wouldn't always order "special" stamps, but I had to get these for that special occasion, and I'm glad I did!

The exact stamps we wanted for our wedding invites! Couldnt find them in any of the post offices and was so glad I was able to get them!! They were the perfect elegant touch to go with our invitations.

My daughter picked these for her classic wedding invitations. Easy way to check another item off this busy mom as list"

I love these stamps. They are cute and so much better looking than the generic Flags or statue of liberties that I normally get.

Awesome looking stamps. My favorite ones so i don't use them unless it's a special letter/now.
