Does't matter if the obverse was a obverse 2 over 1 when originally hubbed or if it was when the die was refurbished, we agree it seems to be a 2 over 1. If The Royal Mint sent dies to Heaton and Heaton had to pay for them? wouldn't heaton want to reverse produce their own punches so they could produce their own cheaper dies. Or were punches supplied to Heaton so they could produce dies? I don't know all the facts, but I am quite sure these are 2 over 1's. The Royal Mint would likely charge both Heaton and Canada for the dies, if they could get away with it. Perhaps the obverse 1 dies with the weak letters were the result of Heatons production of their own dies or using a die to produce a punch?
