ST 1860 A - Obv. 1 |
ST 1860 A - Rev. A |
ST 1860 Ac - Obv.1 (F: D: Type - Ac) Very faint die cracks around some letters.
Evidence of heavy die clashing especially above Victoria's
head. Weak hair - which is normal for obv. 1
Rev. A strong ghosted image from the die clashing
Grade: Bright EF+
* Davies, in his book, suggests that Obv. 1 for 1860 is 4 times rarer than coins
seen with Obv. 2. This seems at odds with listings on Ebay and on dealers
lists where 90% of listings appear to be with obv. 1. My own records of sales
since 2000 show that I have sold 10 x obv. 1 and only 1 x obv. 2. At present I
have in stock 5 with obv. 1. 1 with obv. 2 and one with the legend of either
obv. 1E or 2 - Victoria's ear is unclear to determine which. I think that makes
obv. 2 the rarer obverse type for 1860 !
