(Genuine stamp)
A provisional stamp with inscription 'CORREOS 5 CTS. COAMA' was issued in 1898 in Porto Rico in the color black. There are four types of this stamp (10 subtypes; as much stamps as there are in one sheet). Most (all?) stamps have a violet handstamped control mark 'F.Santiago'.

Genuinely used stamp?
(Probably a forgery)
I've been told that these two stamps are forgeries, I have no
further information. The first one resembles the above forgery.
