GR 1847 A - Date (7 over 8) |

GR 1847 A - 7 over 8 |
1847 over 8 varieties. A very elusive and hard to find date variety not to be
confused with 8 over 7.
GR 1847 B - Obv. A slightly strange semi-circular extremely fine die crack less than a hair's width.
Starting along the tops of GIN of REGINA - This appears to be an slightly
earlier strike to my EF+ example that has the more advanced die crack !
Rev. EXTRA metal on rim at 7 to 8 o'clock !
Date: 7 over 8 (Reason for decision for calling it 7 over 8)
This example is 100% clear cut as being a 7 over 8.
This style of 7 font with the slightly curved leg has been listed by me as
Type A as there is a angled straight leg of the 7 listed by me as Type B.
All examples of 1847 over 8 Groats are RARE.
My finest example was in EF+-pAS. It was sold February 2021.
That example had a choice pale green tone.
Grade: EF? Brightish. Hint of tone in legend and date area. Extremely RARE
