    Those are kind of elegant, in a minimalist sort of way, good buy.

    Great item, I'm missing a Proof Punt from my Irish Typeset, and my MS examples don't look nearly as nice as yours, they're too low in relief and are probably MS62s at best (I picked them up in change in 1999)

    If you don't mind - How much did yours set you back?

    have you checked the edge?

    I think for the punt they're normally reeded (or engrailed? from catalog)

    if they're plain edge they carry a premium (again, from catalog)

    Im not sure if they're referring to a specific year of KM27 (I think it's KM27 anyways)

    Would be kinda cool if "AirTites" made inner rings in color... In this case I'd choose Dark Green.

    I got this and a 1989 CU Queen Mauve pound note for 29 bucks...

    Here's the paper punt.
