1867 & 1868 sixpences both use the older obverse 2 & the new obverse 3

Obverse 2 has more border teeth than obverse 3.

Examples of 1867 with obverse 3 are meant to be slightly rarer than with the older obverse 2.

Whereas for 1868 examples with obverse 2 are slightly rarer than those with the new obverse 3.
