<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 4845862, member: 4373&quot;]Been way backlogged in cataloging. This is one of the more interesting ones. Xinjiang has been on the news, mostly for negative reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>Xinjiang seems to be a rather exotic place to me.

On top of this, all the examples that I have seen does not seem to suggest that this is an overstruck example. The only overstruck Xinjiang example that I am aware is the Uighurstan 20 cash over Xinjiang 10 cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some thoughts on this or some reference book I should be getting?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
