1844 Crown

[bob.phillips 0]

I would like to know something about the mistruck edge lettering on the 1844 crown listed in SPINKS, but giving no details of this error ( or at least not in my 2006 copy ).

I have recently purchased a 1844 star stops crown, mainly because it is better condition than my current one, but it was also listed as mistruck edge lettering. This new coin has the normal REGNI replaced by REGNT ( and also the N is very faint ). Is this the sort of error referred to by SPINKS??

Regards,

Bob P.

CCGB 2009 doesn't mention it, but does list similar for 1845 where the error is given as AANNO.
