McAlee notes that ""the initial B duplicates the B at the end of the legend"" (p. 270, n. 136). Our coin is struck from the same obverse die as the McAlee specimen. While it is not clear, what McAlee sees as the initial letter B does somewhat resemble a B on our coin, too, but the spacing between it and the following letter A as well as the fact that it appears on both his coin and ours indicates that it is probably not a letter at all but rather a minor flaw caused by rust on the die instead. If so, then the legend, lacking the initial B, would be in correct form.
