1859 Sixpences - with minor date variations. It appears that they used several fonts and some even got cross matched. I have found 5 differences with 7 coins - how many more can there be ?? I have only recorded these for information purposes only. I have no idea if any are scarcer than any other !
SX 1859 A - Normal size numerals SX 1859 Aa - Normal size numerals !
With numerals widely spaced With all numerals closer together.
SX 1859 B - Slightly smaller numerals SX 1859 C - 1 & 9 normal; 8 & 5 smaller
With numerals widely spaced With numerals widely spaced
SX 1859 D - 1 & 8 small; 5 is larger; 9 is ??
*It is very difficult to tell the normal from the smaller numerals unless one has both to hand. Possible methods of determining !
The 1 of the 'normal' is taller than the 1 of the smaller.
The 8 of the 'normal' is slightly fatter than the 8 of the smaller.
The 5 of the 'normal' is slightly fatter than the 5 of the smaller.
The 5 of the 'normal' appears flat topped on the smaller the end curls up.
The 9 of the 'normal' is slightly fatter than the 9 of the smaller.
The 9 of the 'normal' is closer to the right hand ribbon than the smaller is. (similar distance as the 'Aa' with the numerals close together) !
