New 1874H Farthing variety?

I was rummaging around on predecimal.com's forum and found a thread about Colin G.'s latest find of an O struck over a sideways O in "VICTORIA" on an 1874H farthing. There is a much more famous error - G's struck over sideways G's that has been known for years. After reading the thread, I went through my own 1874Hs. While I didn't find any with his discovery, I made a different find: C in Victoria over another C.




It looks as if the Heaton Mint really had a lot of issues with that first year.

That looks to be a very strong C over C Wybrit, and quite a die break on the obverse also.

I like it - not sure of the variety.

Hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like there might be another "V" in Victoria, and another "I" in "Farthing". Could be PMD on the "V", though.

Nice - I like it!
