Attached in this and the next posting are close-up scans of four recent OG3 acquisitions. On a couple of them, I'm confident of what the serial numbers are, but on a couple of them it's a bit unclear to me. I'd like to see what you guys think.
Here's what I think:
1. 240,910 - pretty clear I think.
2. 285,674 - looks like EngraverMan made a "7", and then realized a mistake, converting it to a "6" before he had crosssed his "7".
Damn, you might be right about that. One long stroke on that "3" could definitely throw a guy off to think "6". I'll check it against similar engraving on some others, but I think you guys may have called it right. That would also make sense that it's not so much an error as just long and slightly sloppy "handwriting" with no error.
Alexei - what's your opinion? A deep cut on a long "3"?
How prescient my prediction. The recent "Red Auction" in Italy saw the documented Full Cavalier set sell for upwards of $40,000.00 - a 200% increase in realized price compared to just two years ago.

Today's auction results are in...They finally got 12,000 GBP for the undocumented glory trio (item 323), which is roughly 18,500 USD and around half that amount for single glories 1st. (items 321 and 322)
