ST 1873 B - Obv. 3 Similar to ST 1873 A except that Victoria's nose has the missing nostril. Victoria's top lip is rounded as per all obverse 3 types. There is a die crack at 7 o'clock running through the I of VICTORIA (3 mm). Rev. B Trace of Victoria's ghosted head from die clash. Grade: Bright - Some light scuffing. VF-VF+ * Examples with the 'part' missing nostril were first noted ONLY for 1873. It now appears that that obverse die was used later up to 1878. As there are far fewer examples found with the use of this die they can be considered scarce. It is difficult to estimate the scarcity with this die as probably no one has looked before to see if this 1873 obverse die type continued after 1873 !
