1842 Date varieties

All of the 1842 groats have the 18 of the date in a fixed position. 

The position of the 42 can vary slightly.

Date: The top of the 4 is pointed and it has a T bar tail.

   

GR 1842 - Date - Type a

GR 1842 - Date (2 over 1) - Type b

GR 1842 - Date (stop before 1) - Type c

GR 1842 - Date: Type a - The top of the 4 is pointed. The 4 has a T bar tail.

                                     This variety has been seen with the numerals double struck and NOT double struck.

GR 1842 - Date: Type b - 2 over 1.  The top of the 4 is pointed. The 4 has a T bar tail.

GR 1842 - Date: Type c - Full stop before 1 of date (about half way up) !                      

                                * I believe that this is just a bit of grit that got stuck to the reverse die.
