These stamps have been forged and are described in Focus on Forgeries by Varro E. Tyler:
Forgeries of these stamps
Luckily, they can easily be recognized by looking at the backside of the stamps. There should be a serial number on the genuine stamps. However, on the forgeries, this number is always A000,000 in blue or black. The genuine stamps have a real number. Furthermore, just below the '93' of '1930' a dot is touching the line below '1930' in the forgeries. The genuine stamps have no such dot.
