Normal DEF  : for type 1                                      Top colon dot tilting backwards CP 1858 Aa & D's

 

The 'top colon dot tilting backwards' has been found only on examples of :

CP 1858 Aa (Type 1 - Large date - Date: 8 over 8) & 

CP 1858 Dc (Type 1 - Date: 8 over 7), so far !

 

 

Both colon dots closer to DEF & the top colon dot also - tilts backwards:

CP 1858 F (Type 1 - Smaller numerals) 

 

There is no trace on either of  the mis-aligned examples of a weak or worn top colon dot - in the supposed correct position.
