[QUOTE="mrbadexample, post: 6446751, member: 100740"]I had a few further thoughts after posting the above - my coin shows a repaired linear circle. If you take the bottom line to be the original, there is a clear gap to the 0, as per the Aboutfarthings example. Once recut, the line hits the 0. I had a look at the obverse. The F: D: are similar, to the point of sharing a little extra metal above the colon, the die chip to the centre stroke of the F, and the partially filled ½ colon: [ATTACH=full]1256212[/ATTACH] I don't have the repaired R in BRITT: [ATTACH=full]1256213[/ATTACH] Or the repairs in VICTORIA: [ATTACH=full]1256214[/ATTACH] The F: D: shows me it's the same die. Yours is a later stage, with some repairs made. Whilst I don't think it could be considered a variety as such, it does show a record of the repairs made to the die. :)[/QUOTE]
