1696C Shilling No Rev Stops

[Rob 3,236]

Only listed as a variety for 1697 and 3rd bust. Spink 3499 1st bust.

Idly looking at a few images today, it appears that the mint signature is actually C over E. I've only had it 12 years and obviously got carried away with the unrecorded no reverse stops .................. Mental note: must look more carefully.

I'm not aware of any other C over E dies, but given the previously documented E over N, E over Y, y over E, B over E and E over B for various types it would be surprising if more overcut signatures did not come to light.
