The cataloguer contends that the die-sinker punched the name BASTIN instead of BISHOP (John Bishop), otherwise W 672 and 673 share the same dies, although the Bishop pennies are always 3-4g lighter than those naming Bastin. Traces of the A in BASTIN are visible as an undertype on better examples of the John Bishop pennies. Paul Withers was unable to trace anyone by the name of John Bastin in commerce in Cheltenham at the time
