<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1667618, member: 22729&quot;]No, I wasn&#039;t aware that it was the Rulau plate specimen Cheetah. When I bought it from Hayden he made no mention of it...may not have known himself. Thanks so much for the info and I&#039;ll be sure to make a note of it on my holder. Knowing its provenance brings a whole new dimension to the token. The history of any piece is important to me, even common ones, and I always keep a record of it so I can pass it down to another collector someday.</p><p>I knew this variety with George Christy&#039;s name as part of the stamp was a lot rarer than those without. From what I understand, and you can correct me on this if I&#039;m wrong, this would be a very early version (early 1850s ?) of the Woods Minstrels counterstamps. Thanks again for the heads-up Cheetah.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
