BRITISH INDIA: Victoria, Queen, 1837-1876, AR rupee, 1840(b), KM-457, S&W-2.22, East India Company issue, Continuous legend type, with dot after date, without initials on bust, with 35 berries (S&W obverse F and reverse IX), once cleaned and now with attractive toning, PCGS graded AU details.

The reverse has the stem to the pellet left of ONE and only part of the berry itself, thus somewhat in between S&W reverse VI (no pellet left of ONE) and IX (with pellet left of ONE, making a total of 20 pellets on the left section of the wreath and 15 on the right section). Is that a variety of reverse VI or a die of IX with the partial pellet caused by die deterioration or some other aspect?
