The black marks have been added that are the parts of the 'old' legend left showing.
The blue marks are the parts of the 'old' legend that are no longer showing
* These 'part under letters' are clearest in 1732. Less clear in 1735. And in 1737
unless you knew that the overstuck legend was there it would be hard to see
what was left. It is more than probably that this "modified" obverse die was the
only one used for these 3 dates. I have not found one obverse die for any of the
3 dates (1732 to 1737) that was 'clean' and without the over-striking !
This is the part of the legend used for George I " DEI · GRA · "
that was used in error for George II !
1729 to 1737 (overstruck legend) 1739 wider D E I legend (NOT overstruck)
