Bowen and Clermont can be distinguished as follows: with Bowen the top left hand side of the 3 has a hook whereas with Clermont there is no hook
So many genuine Bowen 63 numerals on fiscal stamps have been seen by me that something "fishy" must have been going on. I can only assume that either the postmaster or certain individual/s in Bowen in the 1880s were supplying the philatelic trade down south!
Bowen numeral 63 examples with the bottom of the three closed on a high value chalon or revenue stamp are forgeries! Bowen 63 examples with the correct 3 but 36 rays instead of 32 rays are also forgeries
