Paul R Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I have never seen that type of error before... now the question... which number do you have researched? LOLVery nice small number too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 :Cat-Scratch: YIKEYS!!! That's the question indeed! The horizontal CHOP/WHACK on the middle number was obviously applied last and on top... but was that making the 2 a 9 or.... ???It's not just some random, coincidental ding-- the stroke matches those used in the first and last numbers. :speechless1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Garvy Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Interesting question, Paul. . . I think if you researched both 38256 and 38926, how would you know which citation goes with this Order? Now all I have to do is find the other Order. . .

Yeah, elsewhere those were exactly my thoughts. The scans make that (to me) very clear.And no Bill, getting both researched did not mean to imply that you'd be able to tell which citation went with the order. At least I couldn't think of a way to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That type of stroke would imply that it was supposed to be a 9, no? If it was "applied last and on top" then that would mean the 2 was underneath.

Alfred Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think it?s as nine. Looks like the engraver made the horizontal bar latest.regardsAndreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
