~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seen so far:
Type 1 (far colon dots) - Date Style 1 = 2
Type 1 (far colon dots) - Date Style 1A = 2
Type 1 (far colon dots) - Date Style 2 = 4
Type 3 (near colon dots) - Date Style 2 = 2
Type 3 (near colon dots) - Date Style 2A = 3
Type 3 (near colon dots) - Date Style 2B = 1
Type 3 (near colon dots) - Date Style 3 = 1
The crossover style for both types appears to be on Style 2
The near colon (Type 3) is the scarcer of the two types.
I will be very pleased to hear from anyone that can show that they have different examples.
**I have also been advised that many of the obverses on these coins have a repaired E in DEI.
The foot of the E had been broken off. A tiny bump also appears above the top upstroke of the E !?
Note also that the E is out of alignment and tilts backwards slightly.
This doubled or repaired E has been seen paired with Date style 2B (I.F. 30/11/07)
