SX 1866 A Large 6s - large holes 6s - More rounded Numerals close together 6 6 are 3.5 teeth apart |
SX 1866 Ac Large 6s - large holes 6s - More rounded Last 6 is further apart. 6 6 are 4.5 teeth apart |
SX 1866 B Smaller 6s - small holes 6s - More oval (upright) Same width as type A 6 6 are 3.5 teeth apart |
I have noted two different type fonts of 66s that have been used. There could be others.
1st type the 6s are large & more rounded - I list these as type A but there are width & position variations.
Type A - Large 6s & holes - close numerals. 6 6 are 3.5 teeth apart
Type Ab - Large 6s & holes - 6s wider apart. 6 6 are 4 teeth apart
Type Ac - Large 6s & holes - 6s wider apart. 6 6 are 3.5 teeth apart
Type Ad - Large 6s & holes - 2nd 6 higher (as per Die No. 11)
2nd type the 6s are smaller & more oval - I list as type B.
I have noted this type for Dies 42, 43, 45 - the border teeth are virtually non existent.
Only Die 58 had any border teeth. The highest die number recorded for this date is 59.
