A.    No. 182 with “normal” height of “0” at 5.80 mm. B. Short “0” at 5.65 mm. This shortening may have been caused by a hammer blow, resulting also in the break in the top—left corner of the numeral. It is highly unlikely that a smaller font was accidentally mixed in with the cliche, since the smaller font size would be discernable.

Extremely ExcitingContest!
There are 187 enlargements of the Post-Inflation provisional issues in this Report. However, one enlargement is in error (I know what you’re saying: “Only one?”) and it doesn’t belong in the list. If you can identify the ringer, send a card with your answer and you may qualify for a prize. (Internal Revenue will not be informed of the winners’ names.)
