Type 3
This is a not from the same die as the faults above and does also happen on at least one other year of NZ Sixpences. A weaker strike or partially filled die resulting in the lack of detail on some coins.
Kevin Mills always always told to look out for this fault every time I visited him to collect items purchased online. Sadly he did not have an example to show me and I have only now come across multiple examples to photograph but I am sure he would be happy to see it listed here.
New Die used in 1965?
Was a different reverse die used in 1965 as all coins seem to have this dot or has it appeared on other sixpences
