ST 1878 A - Obv. Victoria's nose is as per normal for obverse 3 with a nostril showing

ST 1878 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 1878 silver 3d, recently, I found 5 examples of ST 1878 B 

had the nose nostril removed or missing.
