Could be that the "printers" were a bit off and caused such an abnormality. Maybe not. Who knows :pir-grin:

EDIT: WHOOPS! I misunderstood :pir-blush: . In THAT case, how strange! All of my red coast guys (9 in all) just have gold buttons. Weird! I guess some were poorer than the ones that could get gold ones :pir-grin:

That is a little strange. Perhaps someone put the wrong code in. My guys all have gold. That is really odd. :pir-sceptic:

Or perhaps it's as simple as the yellow buttons were once gold but have faded and that's why they no longer have a golden lustre.

Is it possible you could get better pictures?

Hmm, that's probably the reason.

It can't be. There is that trim. One is black and the other is gold.

It looks to me like the colours have been reversed, that is, there is black where the gold would be, and gold where the black would be. I think this happened every now and then, I'm pretty sure there are some reverse-print black falcons floating around...

Perhaps there was a bug in the printing process, or somebody swapped the black and the gold ink?

Yes. I had them for ages and I knew it...
Does anyone have them too? Or know the exact reason? (probably misprinted I guess...)

I'm certain they aren't Hong Kong stuff...

Hong Kong? You mean it could be a cheap copy from Hong Kong? Not that there is anything wrong with Hong Kong, but there is everything wrong with clones!

This is very interesting. Sort of how there are some Castle flags with their waves going the opposite way. I wonder how some of these things happen?

I'll have to check some of my Imperials and see if I find any difference.
