How would they have been made? Thanks for looking! Edited by jimjamtwo 03/08/2013 11:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jimjamtwo Valued Member Australia 117 Posts	Posted 03/09/2013 7:11 pm kg5, triggersmob, I don't know if you recall, but I haven't been doing too well with stamps lately. I paid a lot of money for what turned out to be a load of old rubbish. So I've decided to spent some time with coins for a while. Problem is - I can't remember where I left my predecimals!
