2. Die-Specific Comments

     Obverse 6 is a very scarce die,which so far has been traced only in association with another scarce die, reverse E8.  It has very few markers.  Other than the clogs in REGINA and CANADA, which must be considered transient and not necessarily present in all examples, the most distinctive marker for obverse 6 is a nick in the outer loop of the R in VICTORIA
