Coin #3 in Barry's study

Both of these two known varieties are quite rare but the first of these appears to be easier to locate than the other member of this family. It can be readily identified by its Re-punched "6", which has the original digit appearing as a tiny tail, protruding from the Left side of its Base. This is in complete contrast to the following variety which will be described in the next listing. As an additional note, the "1" in the date has also been Re-punched, with a tiny Spur protruding from the Left side of its Base.
