If any? Any info would be great really. It is basically a misprint, from the look of it. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Vaxalon 12/06/2018 09:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

You can see rubbing lines going both ways on the note. Anything done after the note was printed is just damage and adds no extra value. Report this Post to the Staff

But yeah I do agree it looks like its smeared, and I dont know if that kind of thing happens in the process. Thank you for the information, much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 12/06/2018 5:09 pm My assumption would be that someone attempted to delete the Queen, presumably using some kind of solvent. You can see "smears" of ink running downwards from the bottom left edge of the portrait; that doesn't happen with a "missing ink" misprint. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
