ST1874 B - Nose Nose with nostril removed |
ST 1874 B - Mouth Top lip as per normal - slightly rounded |
ST 1874 B - Nose Nose with nostril removed |
ST 1874 A - Obv. Victoria's nose is as per normal for obverse 3 with a nostril showing
ST 1874 B - Obv. The same nose as per ST 1873 B in that the nostril hole is missing.*
* The lost of the nostril hole is possibly due to the die having become worn in this area.
Having examined over 20 1874 silver 3d I have found ONE examples of ST1874 B
It therefore suggests that variation B is Scarce.
Question: Is it an optical illusion that Victoria's nose without her nostril (ST 1874 B)
is slightly larger than her nose of ST 1874 A !? Also is her mouth slightly more open
and the top lip pushed out slightly further !?
