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.

I agree Zac  would love to see the real thing to compare

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

 I now enlarged, rotated, cropped that picture.

 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.

Very hard to be 100%, still a very nice coin though

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

I can see the rocks, in the delivered images

 but the macros  for my documentation I made out of ZacUK's image

Yes looks more like rocks than not

 

 

Many many thanks
