fredor Valued Member Canada 142 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 11:03 pm Gah! I feel silly now. I totally know all about this variety and had completely forgotten about it. In fact I own this variety in AU, it's the scarcest of the 1894 varieties so hold onto it! Also you'll note when you get the higher grade it has a re-engraved 8,9, and S. I even posted it back in february: https://goccf.com/t/77876&whichpage=4 Report this Post to the Staff
