SX 1887 E

SX 1887 E (R over I in VICTORIA)

SX 1887 E (R over I)

SX 1887 D (I over R)

This repair to the R on this obverse is slightly different to that as listed as SX 1887 D with (I over R).

I believe that both varieties could be classified as (I over R) but to save confusion I will list this 

variety as (R over I). In this variety (SX1887E) the I is in direct alignment with the left leg of the R 

and this time is entered higher which leaves the original serifed foot of the R below the entered I.

Which on variety SX 1887 E does not happen. On that variety the top part of the R is still a weak line 

as the repairing I did not quite reach the top of the R.
