Sixpences - 1871 Die Numbers
|
Anomaly !? SX 1871 - die no. 1 - NO !! |
|
This looks like and is listed as Die No. 1 However, I believe that it is NOT - Die No. 1 As the Die No. 1 is situated in the WRONG place ! It is above and to the right of the 8 of the date whereas it should be directly above and between the 8 and 7 See examples of Die No 2 & 4 This "1" placement appears to be the area if it were the "1" of a double digit number between 10 and 19 ! The second digit is so weakly struck that it is impossible to determine what it could be ! There does appear to be a trace of a very slight curvature an ")" on the right edge which could be the back of a "9" !? ~~~~~~~~~ 7 - The down leg is thickish from the start & rounded at base |
