Erscolo Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 07/17/2025 6:07 pm Interesting data. I do not have any of these, just the 1920 Pilgrim, 1935 and 1936 San Diego issues in the classic commemoratives. I had ancestors on the Mayflower and grew up near San Diego, hence the interest in those three. Report this Post to the Staff
