THIS EXPERIMENTAL SURCHARGE WAS DEEMED UNSATISFACTORY AFTER ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 75% OF THE PRODUCTION WENT UNSOLD AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY DESTROYED. HENCE, THIS KEY ISSUE OF ANY SURCHARGED COLLECTION IS ACTUALLY MORE DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN USED THAN MINT AND IS THEREFORE SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERCATALOGUED INDEED.
