    The token illustrated below is presented for comment.
    Charlton PE6A3 Variant?



    OBVERSE

    Slight doubling @ lower right and bottom.

    Odd construction of the right upright; appears
    appended to the 'N' instead of a smooth
    transition.

    Oddly broken and misshapen at the right
    side of the upright of the 'E'.

    Interesting. I haven't seen many of these- just a few- so I have no intelligent comment to add. I saw PEI in the title and failed to read the date, so I clicked in thinking I was going to see one of the 1871 cents with the trees on the reverse. (I want to find one of those in Mint State, one day.)

    That wonky "N" is certainly neat looking.

    It looks like a PE-6A3. The anomalies that you note are probably due to die deterioration and the D/C at the "R".
