Brian....
Clayton nailed it.......the card looks like it missed the factory over strike design ornate bar and factory 42 designation strike at quality control in production....card is obviously factory cut(altho beat to hell).....and is totally plausible to miss an overstrike( similar to the yellow brown printer scraps with the s.c. 460 f. #30 design).....not sure about how amer litho dealt with the overstrike and shipping???
....I haven't read anything on it but interesting Ted....
we see the "missed" strike like Ted showed....I haven't seen any factory issued missing the strike completely ??
these are just my theories....no fact to back it up...
