Hello Mike,

Congratulations on your new acquisition, I assume one that is rarely seen.
Would C.F.H. be the first in your collection Mike and how would you judge the rarity of this one.

Good Morning Paul.....

Yes this is the second one that that I have held in my hands (other one in a museum) and the first one for my collection.....

There were 62 issued and there are only 7 known to be left in existence so I would say is quite rare.....
