Second I of BRITANNIA over an A or inverted V. Also, both A's unbarred.
Very rare. Peck only saw two examples and the Nicholson coin, which is a little better than mine, was found by him in 1984. Not present in the Joe Lee collection of errors and omissions. A couple of higher grade specimens have turned up in recent years, most notably a superb EF example sold through DNW in 2008.

Yeah. Very rare, even in this grade.
The early milled copper varieties and errors have always interested me. An interest of yours too EF if your recent posts are anything to go by. We really must dig out a few more to share with other members!

@hogarth--that is a great coin--thanks for sharing! With this error, the rev legend almost looks like BRITANNM.
