Juncker not so Lazy 2 KC ?

[wolfeknives]

For some reason the 2 is stamped in a vertical position, cutting off 1/2 of the stamp. How unusual is this? The remainder of the cross looks good to me. Does the partial stamp make the cross less desirable?

Some things just tickle me....

Wolfgang, yours is one of them

Here's a counterpart!

[wolfeknives]

Thank you Dietrich and Dave. Hopefully this one will shortly join my very small flock. I love your cross Dave, one that has been worn with pride and care, showing no abuse.
Fool that I am I decided to learn more about the KC's a little while ago. The more I learn (still very little) the more I fall in love with them.
They take a very BIG bite out of my collecting budget.

Absolutely beautiful cross. Wouldn't you call this more of an upright 2. I know it may just be semantics, but it looks more like a poorly struck upright 2. Still love the cross.

[Ludwig]

Excellent cross! That the 2 is standing, is in this case – IMO – just a mistake. There are crosses hallmarked with a standing 2, but in those cases the size of the 2 is much smaller, so that it is not cut.

[wolfeknives]

Ludwig, I agree with you, that is why I thought it was a little unusual. The two is definitely too large to fit standing.

Less desirable? Not at all. I wouldn't mind having that one in my collection. but again I am addicted to KC's.

Thanks
