Aernout Valued Member Belgium 116 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 06:10 am I found this deviation on this 2 frank 1943 (KM#25) Normally the legend is pure, this one isn't. Small die breaks: N of VAN, B of BELGISH, N of CONGO Here an example with a pure legend: Note: This piece is minted in Philadelphia Mint, USA. --- The word BELGISCH is misspelled! There stands BELGISH they forgotten the C !! "Belgisch" meets "Belgian" in Flemish/Dutch. "Belgisch" is the correct spelling for this word. A compleet piece as example: source: internet mvg, Aernout Edited by Aernout 09/02/2012 06:11 am Report this Post to the Staff

Aernout Valued Member Belgium 116 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 1:53 pm @ Liotes, This not a variation or a forgery. A variation you have after a handmade adaptation of the die. A forgery is fake. No, these are small/minor damage of the die. So I call it a deviation. @ svslav, Pure is without "extra" parts in the letters N of VAN, B of BELGISH, N of CONGO Unpure (not pure) is with "extra" parts in the letters N of VAN, B of BELGISH, N of CONGO mvg, Aernout Edited by Aernout 09/04/2012 1:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
