Well, I suppose that's fine and dandy, John, but in the case of the
Simian style counterfeits (British and Irish) with the 'spidery
letters' we already know that they die link with 3 Evasions (4 if you
count A-96) as well several Generic style obverses and reverses.
I don't think that indicates American/British mules and doubt if my
grandchildren will ever have to wonder about those.
I agree that all inclusive analyses would have some benefit, perhaps,
but likely nothing earthshaking in as far as determining provenance.
I can't say that I see anything wrong with pursuing such an all
inclusive study, but I can't see any short or long term benefits that
might change my mind about certain things that I've already accepted
as fact. I would, however, appreciate your effort in the pursuit.
