The obverse is pretty much all on flan, but the reverse legend is partly off flan over the bottom half. That suggests that prior to rubbing down and re-engraving, the die had previously been used for a larger reverse such as those of the crown, pound, half-pound or triple unite, because there is no way only half the letters would be punched in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
