R over N

F over F. & D over D.

ST 1862 D - Obv.2  [As obv. type N] - D. G. (Only the bottom colon dots are clear)

                                                         F. D(Only the bottom colon dot is clear after F.)

                            (Only the top colon dot is clear after D.) However, by tilting the coin at

                             various angles one can just make out very faint lower colon dots !

More interestingly is that the last R of BRITANNIAR has been over struck on an other letter ! 

After careful examination my conclusion is that the R is over an inverted R (which would

make sense that the letter is correct but inverted by accident). Another possibility was

considered R over N but that seems less likely. Therefore the variety has been classified

as: - "2nd R of BRITANNIAR over inverted R".  Unless someone can prove differently !

                            Also noted is that the F of F: D: has been double struck (repaired) and the 

                            new F is in a slightly lower and backward position. The F only has lower colon

                            dot as the higher one has not been repaired ! The D of F: D: has also been

                            double struck and there is only the higher colon dot as the lower one has not

                            been added.

                   Rev.  A very faint trace of a ghosted image of Victoria's head. 

                  Date:  Medium width.

                Grade:  Obv. F to possibly Fine +.  Rev. VF+  Pale grey.  

                            Extremely RARE previously unlisted variety.
