Dear All,
I would like to know what the Big 'E' and the other mark stand for.
Do the marks mean something or denote something?
How much is this coin worth?
Thanks all in advance for your comments.

Bamboo The chop marks add value to the coin according to some collectors, but other collectors view them as damage which lowers value.

The fact that there is an E chopmark is unusual. so some chop mark collectors might find that one interesting.

The weight is about perfect for the wear involved.

The other features look acceptable but it is rarely possible to be 100 % positive from pictures alone.

You have captured one overlap in the 5th picture. Can you show exactly what is on the opposite edge at this point.

I think overlap occurs at position between 'R' & 'A' (GRATIA).
The diagonal opposite (rotate 180 degrees) of this occurs at position between 'O' & 'L' (CAROLUS).
I am just beginning to learn how to identify overlapping.
Hope my guesses are right.
Thanks Swamperbob.
