Paddy Posted September 21 Posted September 21 Certainly looks like transfer of newsprint to me. 1 Quote
Rob Posted September 22 Posted September 22 In the case of written text, I suspect it may have been underneath a piece of blotting paper or at least something as adsorbant as bog-roll. That was the only way I could rationalise my 1773 halfpenny on a spread flan with Basing House plus some indecipherables written in the hand of H Webb. The above could equally be due to someone making a poster. Anything written or pressed onto newsprint with excess ink is likely to pass through quite easily given the paper quality. 1 1 Quote
