<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 4662293, member: 89213&quot;]In 1852, the Royal Mint started to strike the second issue, but due to a heavy schedule and time pressure, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_die" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_die" rel="nofollow">coin dies</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planchet" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planchet" rel="nofollow">planchets</a> were transferred to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Mint" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Mint" rel="nofollow">Heaton&#039;s Mint</a>. There is a way that the strikings can be distinguished. The Royal Mint issue has the dies in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medallic_alignment" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medallic_alignment" rel="nofollow">medallic alignment</a>, whereas, the Heaton&#039;s Mint issue has the dies in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_alignment" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_alignment" rel="nofollow">coin alignment</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
