On the Obverse the second T in BRITT is slightly rotated and the R in BRITT has a slight doubling in the front tail. There is also a missing dot in the colon between D:G: which I guess is just a Grease Fill or something. Thank you for taking the time to have a look, any info is appreciated. Oh, and there is a greasy finger print toning to the coin, do you think acetone would get rid of it? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 11:43 pm Varieties of British bronze coins of this period abound. C. Wilson Peck did a good job of documenting most of them. I suspect each working die was treated individually. Report this Post to the Staff
