Critique: A nice looking, fairly high grade example of this early Vic date. The only reason I bought it was to use in a future article on mint errors of gold sovereigns. Reverse shows pivoted hub doubling on Britanniarum. I've maxed out the reverse view, and the doubling can just be seen, especially on the N's. You can tell it's doubling and not simply repunched letters since the thistle is also doubled. Like, who repunches a thistle? Seriously!
