[QUOTE="philologus_1, post: 6474929, member: 92212"]Sorry to resurrect a 3-week-old thread, but it seemed more appropriate to post this here than to begin a new thread. First, the front of the outer envelope: [ATTACH=full]1258562[/ATTACH] Second, the back of the outer envelope: [ATTACH=full]1258563[/ATTACH] Now the inner card: [ATTACH=full]1258564[/ATTACH] And last but not least... a close-up of the coin AND the signature! [ATTACH=full]1258566[/ATTACH] Unfortunately, the mite is glued down, so the reverse is not able to be seen without ripping the coin out. But from the obverse alone I can tell it's authentic. And besides, removing it would lessen the significance. (Yes, I realize anyone could rip it off and replace it. But there is no indication that such an event has occurred on this card.) Even with a loupe I cannot tell if Meshorer's signature was part of the card's print press process or not. But either way... methinks 'tis a grand acquisition! (I'll never tell how much I paid for it, but to me it was worth every penny!)[/QUOTE]
