1888 Obverse varieties 

   

ST 1888 B - Obv. 5

3 dots around cross (+) on crown

Left, top & right side

ST 1888 B - Obv. 6

 1 dot at top of crown cross (+)

2 lines - 1 on left, 1 on right side of crown 

ST 1888 A (Obv. 5) 3 dots around cross (+) on crown (Left, top & right side)

                    [Listed by Davies as 1332 (Dies 1 + A) - but not seen to confirm] *

* I have found only two examples for 1888 with this die in 20 years of looking.

  I would therefore consider that this variety is much scarcer than ST 1888 B

  which is a scarce date anyway !

A minor variation at the top of Victoria's cross (+) on top of her crown is listed as

ST 1888 B (Obv. 6) 1 dot at top of crown cross (+) & 1 line - either side of the cross (+)

                    [Listed by Davies as 1333 (Dies 2 + A)]   Scarce.
