Either way, I don't recall seeing too many contemporary SP errors or varieties around. I imagine they would be far less common than on business strikes. Does anybody else have any?

PennyMarvel New Member Canada 24 Posts	Posted 12/18/2015 8:23 pm I'm embarrassed I hadn't thought to prod it. Yep, the waves move. I was wondering how such a big error on the die could make it through on a SP strike. I wonder what would cause a bubble....spot of grease on the planchet? Thanks all. Report this Post to the Staff
