I think this would be catalogued as 'missing the '3'. Something went wrong with the printing plate I assume, creating the variants.

Interesting, I guess my first hunch was correct! Thanks as always for the insight.

I've been collecting coins for about 30 years. Notgeld for about 12 years.

A fingerprint 'signature'. Looks to me like he made at least 76....? Instead of 2 people having to sign the note, I think what happened here was that they printed the note with the 1 'faxsimile' signature and then the fingerprint was added at the time it was actually authorised along with the circular stamp mark.

Collector colleagues - I've been a bit busy at this end and I still have quite a few notgeld projects that I am working on. As time allows, I will try and keep my eye on this post and answer any queries. In the meantime, some very good notgeld news. I have just published my latest notgeld book that covers over 100 rare serienscheine pieces that are listed , but not pictured, in the Gr/Mehl blue 2003 catalogues. Most of these pieces are very rare, hence why there were no pictures. I have remedied that hopefully and added info about each issue. The new book is called 'ELUSIVE GEMS' and it is available from my notgeld.com website and direct from LuLu.com https://www.lulu.com/search?adult_a...10&q=notgeld

Thanks @jbuck. It was a lot of work and research as you can imagine. Trying to get scans of pieces that are as scarce/rare as these, just catalogue entries in reality, was difficult. I had some in my picture folders collected over the years, but more than half of these pieces, I had never seen. I'm really pleased with the end result though.
