This aligns pretty well with the general advice we give that the letters have to have a least partly fallen off the edge for a MAD to add any numismatic value.

It's a common one, however, so no added value, but I like that it gives novices a chance to find an error, and work their way up to errors of significance. I think Thump1 deserves a pat on the back for noticing it. Report this Post to the Staff
