OrDirtDevil Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/16/2007 6:59 pm Got this on a roll of wheats I bought from ebay. Inafct I got 15 55s in the roll. Here is one I got from the roll. Is this one of the poor mans version they talk about. Looks like the last five has another one beside it but never struck hard.

Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 01/17/2007 09:26 am Hi o.d.d., Just curious, the first five appears to have a strike mark just below the second horizontal part of the five coming from the top down. And, it does not appear to be a ghost of the five. Any thoughts? Jim Report this Post to the Staff
OrDirtDevil Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/17/2007 11:15 am Thanks for the feedback all. Jim, I noticed that also I think. Are you talking about the top of the curve on the first 5 ? I thought I seen a dbl strike mark on the first five, both on top(flat area) and the top of the curve. Thing is I figured it would be on all the numbers if a DBL strike.

Added a photo to original post Devil, probably just my old eyes, but it seems to me as I look again, that there is a ghost of the first "5". It appears, also, to be leaning, running from ten O'Clock to 4. Jim Edited by Jim1953 01/18/2007 09:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
