1878 six pence

Hello guys!

i have found the 51 die number in my six pence and I am wondering if there is any more to it because of the number. I am aware of the first die numbers and also number 6 with the “dritanniar” error but 51...is this anything special or just another number?

Much appreciated any comments.

thanks!

Nice clear example of the die number! lots of worn 3's get recorded as 5's.

As you say die number 6 is the key one as it is the DRIT error. There also seems to be die 6/6 which does not have the DRIT error (?). The others are die number 41 which is the proof - the last time it appeared at auction I was spectacularly outbid on☹️ and die number 30 which has 8/7 in the date.

Not much difference in the other die numbers but I think the die numbers in the late 60's are less common.

Not to divert, but I seem to recall an 1878 with Die Number 6 that was NOT the Dritanniar error. Also have knowledge of an MS64 Drit -  I wonder how much that would go for at auction these days...

I was outbid on that coin when it was ungraded - it was nice to see it get an MS64 when it was submitted to NGC. I know I should have gone higher!!
