A VFOG single of the 1/2t yellow green King Victor Emmanuel II from the 1861 King Victor Emmanuel II Issue, posesses the characteristics of the genuine stamps, margins are full at right & bottom, top is full but creased.

Namely 24 white dots along top & bottom, 30 down left & 28 down right side, and numbers of vertical lines in the spandrels. If top margin is trimmed along the crease would give an almost, but not quite full margin. The left margin is close. There are soem natural gum wrinkles. A nice example of this classic stamp with original gum.
