British Guiana "reprint"

Wayne Buza

My Scott catalog has a comment about the British Guiana stamp Scott 18. The comment says 'The reprints of the 1c pink are perforated 12½; the other values have not been reprinted." Does this mean the reprint is a forgery, or does it have any value?

#18 was reprinted in 1865 on thin paper - Perf 12.5 - 13. Value is approximately 10% of value of the 1860 Issue. I based this on SG catalogue pricing. It is not a forgery if it meets the above description.

Thanks for the info.
