BP1860NG (Gouby F+d; Freeman 4+D) – R over A in VICTORIA
An exciting new find now recorded by Michael Gouby as BP1860NG which he describes as “an obverse repair where the repairer has made two errors in letter repairs to VICTORIA – C over a C or O and R over a smaller font A”. He expands on possible causes in his book “The British Bronze Penny 1860-1901”.
