Good observation, Dick. Maybe that's where the small font came from. They might've used the Emerald Bay Ring on the last order of Shakespeare's thereby making it an error and scarcer than people think.
I think I'm going to swap rings on my copper "g" and turn it into a copper "ct"....be right back.
Seriously, it'd be hard to swap without some noticeable damage, I believe. Other collectors have brought up this issue before.
