Help... Farthing 1821 "G" over "O" variety or not?

What do you think? There is also "I" over something :)

My guess is that the die suffered wear (or broke) on the "I" in GRATIA, and was repunched. The T may also have been repunched. Difficult to say about the G - it's possibly G over G?

The G in GEORGIUS is an interesting distance from the other letters.

Yes, You are right. Also second "G" in "Georgius" is very similar to "G" in "Gratia". Maybe both are repunched...

The first "G" in "Georgius" is normally spaced like that on George IV farthings. The overstrike is interesting but not unexpected given the plethora of them in the George IV series. I've come across quite a few which aren't recorded.

Thanks for the help :) , I accept that this is not "G" over "O" variety recorded on "Collectors` coins GB".
