1874 Halfpenny

[absence of uniformity]

I think the coin is 9+K for the following reasons, can you let me know what you think please?

Obverse: 

Its not obverse 7 because the first set of leaves are not nearly touching the colon after DG

- Looks to have 16 leaves.

- 1st set of leaves are arranged different to Obverse 8 which are more spread out.

- The ribbon shows some crimping.

- The nape hair seems to match up.

Reverse:

The lighthouse resembles most the lighthouse shown on reverse K and the date numerals are widely spaced and low in the exergue.

Could you please let me know what die pairing you think the coin is.

Thanks

I would agree with 9 + K. F317. 

The underside of the first leaf in the top 2 rows line thru.

Date width covers 14 teeth.

R16. Well spotted.
