this could be coincidence but I have wondered if the B over R causes a break

two strange things associated with die breaks ...the "pimple G" and the E/B just of interest if you see them ....The E in REG in the 1862 is a most bizarre things and it , like the strange metal addition in the the C of the 1862 penny, seems pretty much standard .   There is no reason for the gly unruly addition of the rogue metal protruding from the foot.  I cannot fathom it out to be honest occasionally as in this example and in some others a die break connects the lower and central limb of the E and in this case the upper too.   If anyone knows why this addition to the e exists I would be grateful to know.

here is the FAT 2 , there seem to be a number of date differences  the two can either be close or far with the whole date spaced or with the 2 off on its own like a delinquent child and also the two is low the 2 almost touching the inner circle.  The * I have found either Broken at the top or the base and at times the 8 is very weakly struck.  The 8 over the 8 is often well repaired a good repair but it is possible to make out the previous 8 "thinner" underneath on the top.  The same for the 6 over the 6 a thick base fractured along the mid point and then repaired and a thinner 6 can be seen.  I know there is a 62 over a 26 but have not yet found one and I aslo do not have  ( but would like an 6 over an 8 the weak 8  seems to be the motivation behind the restriking error striking in the 6 position rather than the 8 .  

 

I have a couple of 2 over 2 s usually with the second 2 down and slightly to the right .  There is as I say quite a dramatic difference between the fate 2 and the slender 2 .....I will add images if anyone is interested.

There is no need for me to show the mint marks you have all seen them before and whilst I have an A and a C I have no B but would like one (one day) 

One other things is the existence of some reverse G's with no rock (cauliflower ace of spades rock) on the left of the lighthouse.  The rocks close to the LTH form a wedge going down to the sea As many have suggested with other "rock anomalies" are just filled sections rather than any attempt to change the die.

Almost certain that it's a D (95%) The shield on E appears to be not as oval, appearing flatter at the base.

I think it is. 7 berries. And the lighthouse looks to be correct.

Spotted it yesterday and watching.

Pity about the wreckless abuse but I could live with it as an example, at the right price.

Now that it's arrived, the obverse to my coin above. Hence the question.

Hope to find time, in the next few days, to check the reverse.

Yes, would have been quite a tidy example otherwise.

It might have been good at the price.
