Explaining the Marquard comma error

[wazoo]

Recently, I've viewed two t206 Marquard (portraits) with the comma error. Any ideas of what could have happened or explanations? Or could it have just been a simple mistake. Opinions or ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

Some would have you believe that they put a comma when they intended to put a period. I would be much more inclined to view it as an error if they had used a dollar sign.

The marquard isn't a "huge" error.....i think it's over-rated(just my opinion)....hope no one gets offended

[t206blogcom]

I'm totally offended

I agree that it isn't a huge error like Magie/Magee, but I personally rank it higher than ones like Leifield partial 'G' and Randall - Milwaukef and Mitchell - Toront_.

Thank you for the links and knowledge. Even though it is not the most rare variation, I still find it incredible.
Best regards,
