This one came with an old Spink envelope/ticket. The nicest George I halfpenny that I own. Additionally, I believe the E is struck over an R in GEORGIVS.

Very nice indeed. One of the better examples I've seen.

Hogarth, take a look at the E in GEORGIVS. I believe it is struck over an R, or was made into an E after the fact. Compare to the E in REX.

A distinct possibility.
I'm seeing the inner loop and inner right leg of an R. It's a pity the right foot of the R isn't extending out from under the E as that would've nailed it.
