The second photo shows a miss-placed A. What is going on here? Canada-1858- 20 cents (Control +) to enlarge photo Edited by lambecolin 04/11/2013 12:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9909 Posts	Posted 04/11/2013 12:41 am Not error nor variety. Optical delusion IMO.The result of apoor pic through two layers of plastic. The position of the A does not change relative to the denticles. If Vicky has moved then you've really found something interesting. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 04/11/2013 12:53 am Ahhh--Yes-- I see it now. The top photo shows a notch , but there is none-- the dark tarnish on the field gives an impression of other hair strand where none exists. The other photo is bad. I have been fooled for a long time about that notch which does not exist!!! Report this Post to the Staff
