Default t206 Shappe ???

Posted By: Joe D.

Looks to me like somebody really tried to turn an R into a P.

If you consider a P has a verticle line and a 'circle' on top. It is the circle portion that makes me think that it is a doctored R

look at the inside upper portion of the circle. The fake P gets thinner in the inside upper right corner and goes up hill a little - which is consistent with the R and not consistent with the P that stays pretty consistent and straight. The fake P is also rounder (on the inside bottom portion of the circle) than the other P - again the P is pretty straight there. The fake P is also thicker (than the normal P) at this part of the letter.

It looks like a doctored card to me.

This is all my opinion... I could be completely wrong - but thats how I see it.
