China, for one, is seriously stepping up. There are cultural issues in their research community, but now that we're pulling into the pits, I...
Without an indication of size I can't tell what denomination it is, but there is no denomination with that reverse that I wouldn't pay multiples...
I figured it just spent some time sitting on something corrugated. Might even have picked up toning from something on/in the album paper...?
WHAT?!!?
