| SX 1874 A - Die No. 26 |
SX 1874 A - Known & seen Die numbers - in black.
Die numbers in red - as yet unseen or found
Dies 1 to 9, 11 to 26 are with obverse 3. However, Die no. 10 & 23 are seen with obverse 4.
As I don't have all of the intervening die numbers I cannot confirm if obverse 4 was used with
any of the intervening die numbers between 1 to 26 or later !
Obverse 3 Appears to have been used from die no. 1 to die no. 26 but not exclusively.
That is unless anyone can advise differently.

SX 1874 B: Obv. 4 + date Type 1
Obverse 4: The D of DEI points to a tooth, as does the E. The I points to the left of a tooth.
The R of REG points to a tooth & the E to a gap between two teeth.
(See pictures of the 1874 obverse dies)
Date: Type 1 uses the T-bar or 'crosslet' 4 in the date. From 10, 23 & 27 to 44
At present I am not sure what style of 4 is used for dies no. 46; 47 & 48
as I don't have example of those dies.

Dies 10 & 23 are early examples with obverse 4.
As I don't have all of the intervening die numbers I cannot confirm if obverse 4 was used with
any of the other intervening die numbers between 1 to 26 or later !

SX 1874 C: Obv. 4 + date Type 2
Obverse 4: The D of DEI points to a tooth, as does the E. The I points to the left of a tooth.
The R of REG points to a tooth & the E to a gap between two teeth.
(See pictures of the 1874 obverse dies)
Date: Type 2 uses the plain end-tail 4 from Die no. 49 to 52. Possibly from 46 to 48 and
53 to 60. I have only been able to obtain 2 plain tail 4s in the last 5 years
(before that I did not record the type of 4 that was on the 1874 6d that passes
through my hands). Most of the 1874 6d that I see on auction or dealer lists or
on Ebay appear to be T-bar tail 4s with dies 1 to 42.
This makes Plain tail 4s very scarce - in my opinion !
