1875 Variation to nose (As per 1873)
ST 1875 A - Obv. Victoria's nose is as per normal for obverse 3 with a nostril showing ST 1875 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 1875 silver 3d I have found only three examples of ST 1875 B. It therefore suggests that variation ST 1875 B is Scarcer than ST 1875 A. Question: Is it an optical illusion that Victoria's nose without her nostril (ST 1875 B) is slightly larger than her nose of ST 1875 A !? Also is her mouth slightly more open and the top lip pushed out slightly further !?
