Of these five are on one document and one is on another, leaving 21 copies not on documents. At least 14 of the 21 have faults, leaving only seven sound or potentially sound copies, most of which have mixed centering. The example offered here, without an obscuring cancel, with nice centering and with minimal faults, is a great rarity.
