Another discovery.....
The following is my image of my piece of VCR#1/RPM#1:
PM & PM NE/DOA#1
as can be seen in World Coin News, August 99 page 72.
This image convinced Ken Potter that I had something
rather publishable here
and so he consequestly did the images that appeared in
WCN.
The image shows the remants of "PM" under the first "A"
of "AA" on the reverse of
an Isle of Man 1998 1 Pound (the variety without triskelese
on the obverse).
