    • I may have jumped the gun, labelling this an imitation sterling! I’ve since discovered there’s actually a known class 9a coin with an ANL error and pellet on the breast, which is footnoted as extremely rare. I’d need to get a look at it in-hand…I’d be hoping that the S is top-tilted (it currently looks like it could be a mix of serifs)! We’ll see  
    • Sorry I cant help, However..... interesting find....I will be waiting for the others to chip in with assistance 👍

Conventional wisdom seems to be that these sort of wanderings largely ceased after 1907. I can't be the only person who's ever looked at 1914 pennies.
