Hello and Good afternoon
I have recently obtained this 1880 Penny from auction and thanks to Numista I have learnt that there is a variation that has rocks to the left of the lighthouse.My eyesight is not what it used to be so I was wondering wether you could take a look for me. Ive tried my best with the images. Thanks in advance.

Not sure. Would like to see a picture of one to compare.

Reverse L (1880) Similar to Reverse J but there appears to be a smaller cluster of rocks to the left of the lighthouse. The trident shaft is altered, most notably by the addition of three rings which encircle the shaft near Britannia's hand. Her head is lighter and there is an extra feather in the plume of the helmet.

From that earlier picture I guess it is easier to see the three rings around
the trident - between the hand and the prongs. As still can not see rocks.
Also no idea where the extra plume is.
Edit - I added some lines. Guessing the rocks.

This page has a picture. About ¾ down the long page.

Is that a website having given numista its OK for using its findings and images?
