Funny Markings Question ?

[accumulator]

This is the obverse of a 59 halfpenny i recently acquired,any idea what the funny looking little marks are at the bottom of the Queens Bust/ Neck ?
They look almost like initials at first but that can't be,can it ?


:laughingneqw: should have looked at other coins first,hey ? they are infact initials but further up than on any others i've looked at. M. G. Mary Gillick.

Never realised there were initials.
I just looked at some of my own and I could just see the initials on two.
