Loomis rolls are pushing out String in my area, and they seem to have a lower cu percentage. It will take a few more months before I could say that for sure though.

Two nice finds today: an '09 VDB, and from the last roll of the last box...a 1920 King George V. For me, these are scarcer than Indians, which is strange considering the large amount of Canadian I go thru. Might be only the 2nd one I ever sorted.
