ST 1859 Da - Obv.1D (F: D: Type - A) * This coin is an Identical strike from the same die as the other 1859 Da shown - down to the following changes & the die clash through the right leg of N of REGINA C over C in VICTORIA (New font C with top serif) as per 1st found with 1858 E ! The (inner - under) C is clearer in this example than that of 1858 E. The O of VICTORIA is broken at top and bottom as seen in 1858 E. Unlike in 1858 E the 'O' is NOT double struck ! The other change is that the G font with short cross bar has been replaced by a 'G' with a LONG centre crossbar in D: G: & REGINA. There is a die crack through the right leg of N of REGINA. ** The only difference with this example to the other 1859 D is that this coin has been scuffed possibly to remove some form of gilt !? Rev. There is a die crack from the extremely right base of the 'Crown' just touching the extreme top right tip of the 3 extending down and touching the left side of the 5 (of the date). Date: There appears to be a smaller 5 & Large 9. The 5 is probably 1 size smaller than the larger 5 examples of this date. The 9 is possibly larger and thicker than previous 9's of this date The 59 have the same base line but the 9 is taller. Grade: Bright Obv. Fine Rev. F+ {Rarity is unknown ?]
