 TH 1842 B

 

TH 1842 C

  TH 1842 C

TH 1842 B -  The 2 of the fraction has been repaired with the wrong punch. 

                    They have used a smaller 2 font - that as used for the date !

                    Small 2 over Larger 2. Large gap at top between the 2's.

TH 1842 C -  Both the 1 & 2 of the fraction have been double struck.

                    This is not the same as Type B with small 2 over larger 2

                    These are just repairs as the raised 1 of the fraction has

                     been repaired with the 1 punched in higher over lower 1.

                    The raised 2 has been punched in lower over higher 2.

                    Very small gap between tops of 2's. The front tip of the

                    foot of the lower 2 sticks out slightly from the repaired 2.

                    Not to be confused with Type B - Larger over smaller 2.
