Crown 1671 Second Bust Variety, R over B in FRA, unlisted by the 1992 ESC, Bull 385, Fine or better, weak in the centre as often on Charles II Crowns, a very clear overstrike. We note that we have listed the 'T over R in FRA' variety on many occasions, (rated R4) but this is the first 'R over B in FRA' variety we have offered, so by statistical analysis we believe that to be a much rarer type with potentially only very small numbers in existence. We note also that it is not listed in the 2024 Standard Catalogue
