1862 Halfpenny 7+G (A to the right of the lighthouse)

[absence of uniformity]

I noticed this 1862 Halfpenny with what appears like a possible trace of the letter A to the right of the lighthouse.

What do you think? I have identified the coin in question as 7+G  (I could be wrong)

Im not sure what Im seeing is really the letter A, although the position and size is seamingly correct.

Many thanks,

For £2 + Shipping I thought what the heck and will try my luck and purchased the coin.

Show us clearer pics when it arrives. Definitely worth a punt at that price.

I will do thanks !

After closer inspection it looks like the shape has the similar curved base.

I can only find two images of confirmed die letter A right of the lighthouse coins. I made this image to show the location of the A in respect to the date numerals and legends.

The coin on the left is the London coins example, middle is the the coin in question and the coin on the right is Gary's.

You can see on my coin the middle of the three the central line of the "A" does not disect the top part of the F of half like the London coins example and Gary's.

I have read that the die letter C to the left of the Lighthouse there exist atleast 3 types, with slighly different location and or size, I think the A to the left of lighthouse also has slight variations in the few that are known. Other than this difference everything else appears to line up quite closely between the 3 coins.
