VERY RARE GRETIA ERROR

S3435/E514 First busts, 2nd shield. R3 Very rare Obverse reads GRETIA, also V over S in GVLIELMVS. Reverse, no stop after date, SECVNDO edge. A very bold E in the obverse legend in place of the first A in GRATIA makes this error one of the most blatant in English coinage, especially because as there was no attempt to correct it. Hard to believe that someone didn’t get hanged for this mistake. Ex Bloomsbury Auction 12 May 2005 lot 754 NGC VF30
