1846 Sixpence. The obverse die must be on the point of breaking up completely as there is a die flaw starting from the edge at 6.30 o'clock that goes part way up Victoria's neck. At 11.00 o'clock there is another die flaw starting at the edge, just touch the right side of the 1st A of GRATIA and extending onto Victoria's forehead to just above the eye. Just below the A the die flaw forks right, to the right side of the 1st hair ribbon. The die flaw then starts again just to the right of the hanging down curl at the base of Victoria's hair bun. This flaw extend all the way around to the rear tip of Victoria's truncated neck. A quite amazing die flaw.
Plus there is only a very faint trace of the lower colon dot after D of F:D - just shows up on scan.
Due to condition of the die it would have too late to start running repairs as it would very shortly be redundant !
* All other examples of our 1846 sixpences have full colon dots after F:D: but we do have one example of the F being and double struck.
