I'm not all that experienced with this series either Dan, but a good=20
question nonetheless.
I originally thought the undertype was V.18-87C. The power of=20
suggestion by the seller saying in his description that the date on=20
the reverse was 178X, plus the ordinal being close to the front of=20
George's head; being closer on the 18 obv. than on the 19 obv., is=20
what made me, at first, think that the undertype was 18-87C.
Luckily for me I have Gary Trudgen double checking my attributions=20
and he's pointed out that the visible date numerals on the back are=20
actually X778, and that the front of the bustline is visible and=20
matches that on the 12 obverse with the ordinal also being close to=20
the forehead on the 12 obverse. I believe what clued him in though=20
was the end of the staff in relation to the date numerals as on the=20
78B reverse.
Gary also mentioned the style of the R in REX and the relative=20
positions and styles of these visible letters.
The comparison image of 12-78B is a little out sync with the=20
overstrike image sizewise but I had no trouble relating these=20
diagnostics from the images Gary provided.
