Post by: trout on May 14, 2013, 03:38:37 PM
I bought 1 of these off Matty and I already have one.
The crack is identical :ok: I wonder how many of these are out there.

I have just finished putting mine in new Saflips and the Official Count is 43. I have some that are hairline cracks all the way to serious. This was the first ones that Dad told me to look out for when I was noodling as a 7 year old.!!  I love them.!!:blush:

I have about 10 of them. Theyre a common error but one of the best in the whole predecimal series IMO. I just got back from the post office so its on the way. Same as everyone who got stuff on the weekend.
