Josie,

I have two of the 1826 1/4d's and neither have the dot before Britannia. Both have a small 2 incomparison to the balance of the date though.

Peck shows two (2) differant reverses on that farthing though. Rev A has incuse lines, and Rev B has raised lines. Rev A is VC in rarity, while Rev B is R in rarity.

There is also a variety that has an I for a 1 in the date, it is also scarce.

Thanks try to upload it tommorow evening.

B in britannia is quite worn and the left leg of X in REX is also worn other letters are not. so I dont expect things for its quite hard to look for varieties,well most of my coins are in good grade :) few in fine condition :)

Its in the image gallery will edit the album in future.

Josie,

This series is littered with repunched numerals/letters, and many of the dies appear to have been used even when showing considerable signs of wear/damage. I think this explains the faults you are seeing.
