1861 Nova Scotia

-Hi scooby Due- Those are for sure a puzzling set of circumstances!
---For the misalignment of the BR as a possible re-punch as an answer?
---If your looking at the underlying BR it looks about correct, so the offset BR doubling is confusing to me because its only the top BR that is off, yet the doubling is consistent through the whole Britt:.
---So for discussion purposes the inside line doesn't make sense to me as attributed to the offset or doubling because they didn't seem to jive?
---At the top, the lines seem to rejoin and the bottom line goes way off with no real if slight doubling at the bottom? Really strange to me, but I'm not an expert just an observation!
---If it were an expensive coin one could ponder other thoughts, but one must consider that Nova Scotia is well known for making real good Swish Rum and Screech! So who knows?
---I can personality attest to that as I have sampled, leaving a real impression on me as a young man and that's back in 1977 when I did my basic training there for the Army, in Cornwallis.
---It'll mess you up!
---Further thought to that theory, the story for the 1861 and 1862 penny is that they made more 61's in 62, without explanation and only made a few with the right date of 62?
---So more questions?
