ST 1874 A - Obv. 3

ST 1874 A - Rev. B

Date: Type A

ST 1874 A -

Slant-up tail 4

ST 1874 A - Obv. 3   Faint die crack from back of Victoria's pig-tail downwards into the 

                               field for 3 mm and an even fainter die crack from the back of the

                               nape also for about 3 mm. This has caused a very light dish shaped

                               indent. Unusual to have die cracks start in the centre of the die as

                               usually they start from the edge ! There is one further die crack

                               at 5 o'clock just after the colon dots after D: upwards and into

                               Victoria's truncated neck - 2 mm. These die cracks are mentioned

                               but as they are so faint they do not detract from the coins quality.

                   Rev. B  Trace of Victoria's ghosted head.

                     Date:  Type A  Slant-up tail 4

                               Strong trace of Victoria's ghosted head - through date.

                   Grade:  Bright.    EF-EF+
