My thoughts are that the underlying flaw caused the metal below the shield to collapse on impact resulting in the weakness / no stamp below. Any other thoughts? Also, I'm not happy with the muck on the obverse legend which has been really highlighted by a poor effort at cleaning in the past. Would Verdi-care be useful in this application or is the colouring from PVC? Any advice appreciated, as I don't want to "2x2-it" until it looks a tad better. Cheers TT The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 07/22/2022 5:01 pm Sounds plausible - there may have been some gas below the shield. Re the gunk, I'd try a toothpick with some acetone and see if that shifts it. Report this Post to the Staff

I actually posted a results topic on a different forum regarding the acetone and Verdi-Care as this one went quiet on me. Link here if you are interested. http://goccf.com/t/424238 .
