Ya know what George - you're right. Somehow I have completely missed that little detail for quite a few years. What Krause is saying is that the...
I agree, it's either a magician's coin - tails/tails - or it's someone's attempt to counterfeit an error - wheat/memorial.
Well before you start or announce it - work the details out with Peter first. Should make things a bit easier ;)
What edition of Krause do you have ? None of them, 3rd & 4th or 31st & 32nd list the dates as starting at 1906 :confused:

Email the pics to me and I'll post them for you ;) gdjmsp@qwest.net
