Farthings I am on not pennies! anyone ever come across a B over an E in BRITT on the 1863 farthing? This is a very clear example and I have not seen it listed before the central arm of the E and the overhang of the squared off upper arm are clearer in the hand than in the images but they clearly show that a squared off letter existed under the B at some point. The straight middle section cuts the B at the centre. I have tried to find another one but with these things I would rather ask the forum of farthing lovers if they know of the error and if they might check any they have to see how rare or common it is. Many thanks Larry
