ST 1844 Ay - Metal flaw (indent) |
*I have now found 3 examples of this small metal flaw (indent) and they are all
paired with the double stuck 1st 8 of the date. It is possible that a small piece of
grit or other foreign body got itself trapped on the obverse die and that is what
has caused this small indent. These are listed as ST 1844 Ay.
However, I have also found one example where there is NO flaw on Victoria's neck.
This I will list as ST 1844Ax
ST 1844 Ax & Ay - Small 44 and the 1st 8 of the date is double struck - top right side.
ST 1844 Ax & Ay - Small 44 - The 1st 8 of the date is double struck - top right side.
ST 1844 B - Large 44. Note distance from leaf to last 4 and that the base
of the 44's are now in line with the top of the back arch of the 3
* In this example the last 4 has been double struck.
* Due to the rarity or scarceness of this date there are not many examples
around to determine which of the two date varieties is the commoner.
Looking at my past sales records, since I have noticed this difference in
the date sizes, I have had 4 x small date and 3 x larger date examples.
Therefore at present it seems that both have approximately the same
scarcity value.
