Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 1:08 pm Thank you Svslav, I didn't know for sure, how to look at it. 6 o clock seen from obverse or reverse, because it makes a difference. But anyway, I also thought it would be the one you described, so I prepared myself mentally to it be the regular one I was wondering though, might there be a small die error (B) Or is it that the silver has been damaged or something?
