D&H 394 Druid halfpenny 1789 - edge inscription ?

Recommended Posts

Hi all !
 

Wondering if anyone here who's more familiar with this series might be able to give me a hand on this...probably a pretty basic question !

I have a 1789 Druid halfpenny which I think is D&H 394 because the obverse has 25 acorns and the 9 of the date is below the H of "THE". 

What is the standard edge inscription for this issue ? Mine is "PAYABLE IN ANGLESEY LONDON OR LIVERPOOL . X ."

It's not D&H 394, as that is 1791 and 18 acorns. I think it is DH361 because of the 2 dots instead of an acorn at 12 o'clock

Ah I meant D&H 364...

Does 361 typically have this edge inscription ? Otherwise everything seems to match up.

Looks like it. No mention of a variation for DH361
