GR 1846 B - Rev. B - PENCE (Broken or open tail C) |
|
GR 1846 B - Rev. B |
GR 1846 A - Rev. A - All of the lettering of PENCE are normal font.
The C is well rounded with a small gap at 3 o'clock.
Out of 12 examples of 1846 groats I have, as yet, only found 1 example with the 'un-broken' C !
All of the other examples are with the 'broken' more open neck C - as shown as GR 1846 B
I therefore consider that the break to the C must have happened very early on and normal
original dies with the 'closed' C must be scarce for 1846 !
GR 1838 Aa - Rev. Aa - All of the lettering of PENCE are normal font - except for the C.
. The C is braking up and just a thin finger of the lower circle is left.
See Red arrow.
Shown for comparison with SX 1846 Aa
GR 1846 Aa - Rev. Aa - All of the lettering of PENCE are normal font - except for the C.
. The C from 6 to 3 o'clock has a thin finger indicating possibly the start of a
small break in the future. Or, the C which has been double struck could
possibly the partial repair with a different font C !
The last E has been double or triple struck.
See Red arrow.
I have only found one example of GR 1846 Aa
GR 1846 B - Rev. B - All of the lettering of PENCE are normal font - except for the C.
. The C is now broken or open - and has a piece missing from 4 - 5 o'clock.
This C has been double struck and seems to be a slightly different font to
the normal as it has a solid triangular top serif to the C.
See Red arrow.
1846 Date varieties
All of the 1846 groats have the 18 of the date in a fixed position.
The position of the 46 can vary slightly as can the size of the font.
Date: The top of the 4 is slightly flat and it has a slant-up tail.
* Previously from 1840 to 1844 all of the 4's (bar 1 ?) had a T bar tail.
