I can't vouch for that bit about returning them of course, just found it searching for "DRITANNIAR".
I wasn't saying that's what I think it is, just guessing what the TPG said, since the topic is your disappointment with them. I thought it was UNC...
A worldofcoins post says "The whole mintage (10 188) with the wrong inscription was sent to Cyprus. Of these, 6160 were returned to London when...

Looks like Obv 2/Rev C to me, or 2C of the five known pairs.
The gouge at the ear is a little distracting but I like it. What do you think, AU53 or so? Trivia: 1905-S was the last Barber dime with two...
Thanks! Seems like producing a "triumphant George" coin in 1783 England may have raised some eyebrows too. But I shouldn't try to interpret things...
