[QUOTE="Johnsl, post: 1213816, member: 31862"]I have never been able to decide on my favourite but it's one of these three : [ATTACH]128483.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]128484.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]128485.vB[/ATTACH] Just indecisive, I guess. All three are reputedly finest known - but with nobody grading these there are no formal records to be sure. - the first is ex Lockett - he had 9 of them of which this the nicest despite the edge chip and scratches (I have only 3). - the second has no provenance - and is much more common - but it's really hard to get anything from this period as nice as this - and probably has the best claim to being undisputedly finest known despite being more common. - the third is ex Millennial - ought to have a longer provenance but I haven't traced it - the lack of images in early cataglogues makes it hard to track these - and despite the scarcity there are others which vie with it, a couple have better legends but not as good surfaces. John. P.S. This is my 'hello' post.[/QUOTE]
