Description:
Die Number 1. An extremely rare coin. 

The 1870 WW incuse only appears with Die number 1. NGC does not currently differentiate between S.3853 WW incuse and S.3853B WW in relief. So if we look to PCGS we can see the highest grade with PCGS is AU58 with a total population of just 4 coins in all grades. 

There is also a NGC AU58 that was previously auctioned with the Coin Cabinet, Auction 51, 14th Nov 2021, lot 74. Price realised £4100. Therefore the coin offered is likely to be the single finest out there.
