robster Pillar of the Community Australia 674 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 6:54 pm I believe it was normal practice to grind the 'face' of the die to remove the engraving before sending it to 'heaven'. Report this Post to the Staff
Basil Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 10:24 pm Yeah,it was the same with Govt.(Pre.Dec days) Tax Stamps,face ground off then dumped at the local tip where "Ëmu's" picked them up with other rubbish to sell.There should be hundreds(Thousands?) of them out there somewhere,surprised they don't show on ebay more often.
