SX 1850 A - Normal spaced date

SX 1850 B - Wide spaced date

5 over 5 (NOT 5 over 3)

1850 sixpences have two date widths - Normal spaced and wide spaced.

The wide space 1850 sixpence has, so far, only been seen with 5 over 5.

There is reportedly a variety 1850 with 5 over 3 - this seem extremely unlikely as it seem 

unimaginable that a reverse die for "183" still exists and if one looks the 3 that will be used

in 1853 is ROUND topped ! Plus the 5 has a die crack running through it - which is probably

what this variety of 1850 sixpence  is - A die flaw !

SX 1850 - Reported and sold as 

1850 with 5 over 3 ??!

There is a die flaw through the 5

Deemed to be unlikely (part of die flaw !)
