Some smart lawyers had their clients deal with the tax implications first, and then the criminal charges were eventually dismissed by the state supreme court as double jeopardy. Our law didn't bring in any money either. We had something similar in Illinois.

However, I don't think one could determine the size of it from the image. And the quality is not real high. Hmm, good point. However, I don’t think one could determine the size of it from the image.

If I were you, I'd consult an attorney more knowledgeable than I before continuing to display it. My guess - and it IS a guess - is that it's OK to display it with the word "copy" or "specimen" (or "Uncly-Wuncly," or anything else) clearly written across it so that everyone can see what the stamp looks like, but a would-be forger cannot easily make himself a realistic-looking copy simply by printing out the image displayed on your blog.

Probably not a good idea. Re: identifying the purchaser. Are they transferrable. You could buy thousands at fifty cents a pop and sell them to "collectors" for a buck.

Forging tax stamps or templates may be a legal no-no. May not want to do that, it could be illegal or something. Forging tax stamps or templates may be a legal no-no.
