The biggest problem with the Kenyan document is the ‘4s. 6d.’ (4 shillings and 6 pence) in the top left-hand corner. However, as a discussion on the other thread pointed out, Kenya uses (and used) cents not pence. Unless there is an explanation for this then, regardless of the status of the Bomford certificate, the Kenyan document must be a forgery and remains ‘out of action’.

It is 7s 6d not 4s 6d.
7s 6d was a very normal charge in Old Sterling:

7 shillings (no letter c) and 6 pence (d = Latin denarius)
7s 6d = seven and a half shillings
7s 6d = three eighths of a pound sterling

I know that we were dealing with East African Shillings, but the mindset came from the British who used Pounds, Shillings, and Pence.

Wikipedia says the EAS and pence were replaced in 1966 by the Kenyan shilling and cent, so PENCE would be correct in 1964 when it was created.

I haven’t looked at what was learned today yet, but I think it’s back in action, where by “action” I mean, there’s a question mark by it, but people aren’t discouraged by it, haven’t given up on it, etc etc. I think that the existence of fakes like the aussie doc somehow strengthens the kenyan doc. We’re analyzing the aussie doc and the kenyan doc, the left is analyzing the kenyan doc, and did, we think, create the aussie doc. The aussie doc was knocked out, but the kenyan doc hasn’t been knocked out.

I mean, we really can’t verify this thing when we don’t have the paper. We can knock it out, but we can’t verify it for sure. And we here in the states are at a disadvantage because we have never seen a document that looks like this, and we’ve never seen a document like the aussie doc.

Apparently elsewhere in the world, Kenya maybe, there are people familiar with Kenyan docs. And we’ve had the opportunity to read what they supposedly have to say. They think the document looks ok to them. Very similar to the Kenyan docs they got from Kenya around the same time as the Obama doc.

In this particular instance, it’s unlikely we’re going to be much help. This isn’t Rathergate. But it’s a fun game to play at home, so we’re playing it. I’m playing. It amuses me. The left will be throwing fakes at us, and we’ll be debunking the fakes.

You are speaking CURRENTLY. Kenya used (d) pence until 1966 when they changed to make the shilling split by cents.

It's 7s 6d. I've found books printed in England with the price on the front page. Put 7s 6d in Google.

Possibly printed in England or by an English firm in Kenya. Don't worry your little self.
