Reverse A - 1835 - 1837 (1834 has as yet not been reported with this reverse)*
The easiest identification between the two reverses is that on Reverse A
there is a tiny bump (raised bit) in the centre under the top bar of the 3.
The tiny bump or raised bit was probably an incuse mark on the master die
to show the exact centre of the coin.
Reverse B - 1834 - 1835 (1836 to 1837 has as yet not been reported with this reverse)*
The underside of the top bar of the 3 is now smooth as the centre bump or
raised bit has been removed or filled in. It is amazing that it has taken a Royal
Mint engraver 30 years to spot this tiny appendage and remove it !
The reverses have been listed in this manner as Reverse A appears to be the ONLY
reverse die used on the Victorian silver 3ds from 1838 to 1868. The smooth under
the centre of the 3 bar was not re-engraved until 1867 ! See ST 1867varieties
* I would appreciate if any one can confirm the existence of 1834 with Reverse A or
1836 or 1837 with Reverse B - I would be very pleased to hear from you
