GR 1840 C - Slabbed by NGC as MS63 - The slabbers never picked up that the first E of PENCE
was missing the centre bar of the E and it now reads a PCNCE.
I regret but I am unable to take a decent image from the slabbed coin. I normally use a
scanner which was even worse than this picture by my phone !
I really hate slabbed coins !!!
As the pictures are impossible to show this coin and its varieties I have taken images from
other examples of this type coin for the other images below.

This is the best know example of this Rare and unusual variety.
Recently I have started adding to my website all of the UNLISTED varieties I have
discovered over the years that is the reason that I have never listed this coin before !
I discovered this variety about 30 years ago and during that time I have only come
across 3 other examples. One in VF/VF+, another in Fine + & the other
unfortunately only in Poor/Fair?
This example was only purchased recently from auction April 2021. It was had gone
un-noticed by the 'slabber' and therefore not picked up by the collectors.
This is by far the best example I have ever seen and probably likely to see.
