GR 1848 D - Date: 8 over 6

GR 1848 Bd -  Rev.  Type B  The C of PENCE has part of the lower curve to tip broken off -

                                    leaving an open C.

                                    Die crack between 5 & 6 o'clock. Starts from the edge up into the bottom

                                    of  the 8, at the right side exiting at the top centre of the 8 and just into the

                                    bottom of the fold to Britannia's gown

                        Date:  Type d   8 over 6.  Large 4 - with a slant-up tail.

                                    Depending on the angle the date is scanned at one can see that on the

                                    left image of the date that the curled top of the 6 is clearly visible above

                                    the 8 - red arrows.

                                    Scanned at that angle the back of the 6 is not clear but on the other

                                    scan of the numeral 8, by itself, one can see clearly the back of the 6.

                                    The back of the 6 is below the height of the 8 thereby making the 8

                                    the dominant numeral.

                                   One can see that  3 attempts were made in striking the 8.
