Rob Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 The 1663 1st bust shilling listed as being A/G in FRA is in fact also R/A. The bottom of the G fills the space between the feet of the A and there is a curved line for the left side of the G. The square ended tail of the R and the bar filling the indent half way up on the right confirm the underlying A. There is no sign of an underlying M below the F to suggest that MAG was entered twice, so we can assume that having entered the A after the F the die sinker thought that he was entering MAG - hence the following G. Seriously rare and the first one that I have seen. Up for grabs if anyone is interested. Quote
