chatter letters striking" is a new term to me...

@lhnumis1, again THANKS for reigniting the passion for discovering what some of the coins we have in hand are.

Your prompt led me to reexamine a few of my own and guess what... here's a few pictures of one I had in had and didn't know it. Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest but you'll hopefully see the major PUPs, including the fact that mine is a clashed version mentioned (but, as mentioned, no apparent letter transfer that I can see).
