Coin #1 · TYPE III (a) in Barry's study

This variety is most remarkable because of its Re-punched, High “4”, which clearly displays remnants from the original digit at the top, left side of this modified numeral. Unlike the previous variety the “0” does not show any significant modifications. In addition, the date of this specific variation is considerably Wider than that of the previous example, which has the Narrowest of these dates.
