I got to ask. Who's the guy on the bottom one? looks like Ebenezer Scrooge.

I am not sure who he is. Only reference I have is the Schaaf and I can't read the dang thing

I really like the third one! And the Goetz. Another slab-liberation from the People's Front?

Actually the Goetz arrived in a cardboard flip. It is now in an airtite.

So Bill, is #2 really a proof??

cosmicdebris · March 13, 2004 7:43AM

I think is is a prooflike UNC. The strike is not sharp enough to be a proof. But I do know where I can get a proof one

Nice mail. #3 is a schnoz even Jimmy Durante would have been proud of.

Could you supply a little more information on the 5 rupies? I've never seen anything like it.
