How did I miss that!? Because there wasn't an Ike on it. You have a special Ike filter in your brain.

Some of the slight differences which were put especially on the notgeld for the collectors, are extremely hard to notice unless you have the 2 different types in your hands. I'll try and post a couple for you all to have a look at &  |

I might have shown you this set of 7 different notes before?  See the differences in the last 2 notes? |

Think how easy it would be for a collector to skip through a pile and see these as the same. I've sent notgeld to collectors and they have sometimes emailed me back that there were duplicates sent. Once I have explained and they have taken a second look at the pieces - they then see the differences and better still, understand a little bit better the nuances of collecting notgeld. I'll search out a few more very similar......but different......pieces for this forum.....

  A set of 6 from Sulza, Bad......as we collectors would alphabetically see these as. The 25pf piece usually has a 'valid until' date in the bottom right corner. But it is missing on this scarcer variant piece which I have enlarged.............
