Specimens chosen for bold rev. rims,as the "dimple" is often very weak. B99.A4p — — — — Points on inner rims (mint error) B99.A4a — — — — Specimens with little or no rev. rim. Error or deliberate? T215 B99.4 — — — Reverse: Dot rt., well away from rim. (May be an unintended variant of 99.5) C61.3, T214 ; ; B99.6 — — — — Bad calligraphy, just as Barker specimen. Robust coin, but possibly unofficial. B99.5 — — — Reverse: Dot rt. in "dimple" close to rim. KM171.2, C61.4, T221v B99.5b — — — — Dimple is raised, looks like dot in circle. Robust coin. — Note: The following coins are all thin, suggesting a private (possibly licensed) mint. The dots in non-standard positions rev. may be a way of keeping track of licensees, or could just be sloppy rotation of reverse masters in production.
