| SX 1887 F (R over V in VICTORIA) | R over V | Incuse die ! |
SX 1887 F is an unusual variety to understand as to why would a V would be required in that position !
Neither the V or the R looks as if they needed repairing !
One possibility for this error was the A of REGINA, on the opposite side of the coin, but exactly in the
spot where the R would have been when the 'incuse' die was being repaired or letters strengthened.
So what appears as part of a V could in fact be an inverted A (the cross bar of the A is hidden by the
cross bar of the R !?) This is only a supposition.
For convenience it is easier to label this variety as R over V as that is what it looks like.
