Tilted I of VICTORIA

[absence of uniformity]

I know its insignificant and probably common on early halfpenny coins.

Out of interest what is the reason one letter would be tilted back like this. 

Is it simply repunched in which case where is the trace of the original letter?

Thanks.

Looks like obverse 7.

Yes, probably repunched. You can in fact see traces of something underlying - just above the I, between the red lines.
