1814 Brockage Error - John Harrop Tea Dealer

Thanks Peter.. Here's what I have so far:

Obverse:
Legend on seven lines: JOHN HARROP GROCER & TEA-DEALER 1814 BRIDGE END GATESHEAD.

Reverse:
A tea chest inscribed with "HG", two Chinese characters and a British East India Co. bale-mark with legend: FINE TEAS * RAW & ROASTED COFFEE *. Plain edge.

I think you are right with the H for Harrop and I'm not 100% sure but I think the G could be for GATESHEAD. Don't know what the other symbol represents...

Thanks for showing the dated side.

I have the same brockage (though perhaps not as sharp as yours), but I had never thought to get a normal example to go with it.

D -

Here is my example -



I have been collecting English brockages (regal issues) and double strikes for many years. Along the way, I've gotten a few token errors*.
I admit that I haven't given much thought to 1st strikes, 3rd strikes, etc. I'll be interested in your assessment of this one.

Thank you, but I don't think I need the link that you offered, now that I've seen your piece.

All the best,
Bill


* The only other token errors here are several double struck conders.
