George IV Penny - thick or thin line on shield?

[Stechlin 0]

As far as I know there are 3 varities about the 1826 Penny all concern the cross of St. Andrew in the flag: Rev A = No central line along arms of cross; Rev B = Thin, raised line along cross Rev C = Thick, broad raised line.

In lack of comparison I do not know, what type two of my 1826 Pennies are: Rev B or Rev C?. I'm afraid the detail pictures I'm adding are as poor as the coins itself, but I'm interested in finding out what varity it is.

I would say both are Rev B, I f the coin isn't too worn at britainniars foot, Rev C has straps to the sandal, B doesn't.

Right you are, thanks a lot. I have to apologize, because I could have answered my question myself with a look in Peck. He has nice plates of the different shield designs and there is no doubt about the Rev B of my coins. For that reason there are no straps on the sandals to look for. But the straps of the sandals in Peck are only mentioned in context with the Halfpenny, but introduced with the words: "Rev: As the Penny...". I will have a look, when I buy the missing Rev C somewhere in the future. Thanks a lot again.
