Somewhere on this one is a fairly obvious die chip, hiding in plain sight. I can't mention the year of this 50c because anyone who has a copy of Paul's study could find it right away. Can you spot the Die Chip? Hint - it's not connected to the mark above the ring. Edited by wildflowerAB 02/25/2017 6:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I had another photo with that area blanked out that I had intended to post. Oh well. Nope not lions tail. Hint, it's somewhere on the shield. Very obvious, in plain sight but it blends into the design so well that it's difficult to notice. Report this Post to the Staff

The second image I posted was a different 50c, just for the sake of showing others (who aren't totally confused by now) what an ordinary harp looks like. Report this Post to the Staff
