Penny Jacks

Hi Bruce

Colin,

Anybody interested in a more complete list of the Pee Jay corner letters?

The list of Penny Jack top corner letters is
Imperforates:
AB, AN, BD, BP, CE, CF, CH, CM, CP, DH, DP, DR, DW, EC, EW, FG, GA, GB, HB, HD, HN, IT, JA, JF, JY, KJ, KL, KM, KR, LE, LL, MC, ML, NC, PE, PG, RB, RK, RW, SC, SD, SE, SH, SK, SR, ST, SX, TA, TM, TP, TS, UK, WM, ZA
Perforated:
AN, BP, BP, CE, CH, DE, DL, HD, IM, JD, JF, JT, KB, LJ, MB, MW, MU, NS, PY, SS, ST, VW, WB
All have GB for lower letters with the exception of MU which has BA in the lower corners

Some perforated sheets have an complete inverted stamp on the middle column second row. There are mirrored stamps and there are others where just the VR head is inverted. Paler variants exist too. There may be more subtle variants out there, so it may be worth checking.

It strikes me these could provide at least two games. One is to come up with amusing ideas for whose initials are represented on the stamps. Or they could be shared out among 3 or 4 players and played in turn like a game of dominos.

List above updated with these - thanks Joolz
