The wear on this set of dies is pretty cool. The obverse has heavy bead clashes almost all the way around and die cracks at numerous clock positions. Note also how weak the strike is on the tops of the letters.

The reverse has die cracks radiating out in all directions also. Wonder how much longer these dies lasted. Otherwise not a bad looking coin. Enjoy!

Victoria was a beautiful Queen. You would look weak around the edges if you had been punched as much as she was!

Nice coin!
