It's an old one but it did make me laugh out loud when I first heard it.

The beauty of this variety is that it is so easily recognisable to the naked eye. I wonder how many are extant, and why it was never spotted before. I'd hazard a guess at <25. Like you, I check every 1862 for one of four things, F38, F39A, F41 and VIGTORIA. You just never know when one will crop up, as indeed it has for our guest.1 point

The first might be on the punch itself. Letters are frequently composite, e.g A is often made from an inverted V with the crossbar added separately. The first looks as if the bottom arm was entered separately. Punches also broke but continued to be used for the remaining detail, so you could potentially see traces of a different letter. The second looks a bit like a D, but the top of the curve looks more like a die flaw.1 point

My first computer had beads. And after buying it I had enough change from sixpence to see a cinema show.1 point
