Description (Eire 50p / 1970) Purchased from Daniel Case / Baldwinsville, New York, USA. (Mr. 25, 2024) ($10). The two E's in Eire are obliterated by an engraving tool and a crude A is added on the end to spell IRA. Another IRA is tooled below the woodcock on the reverse. An unusual method of messaging but similar examples have previously been documented.
