Here is the best of my 1799 halfpennies, which I have presumed is "9 relief gunports" though it only looks like 7 to me! Alternatives are "5 incuse", "6 relief", "Plain hull" and "plain hull, raised line" according to Spink. Any thoughts?

Great photos. I'm seeing 7 on the gun ports from left to right, then two more "dots" with a line between them, which I would have thought were something other than 2 more gun ports.

I'd say the 9 if they were pointing at me

Always a challenge to figure this out without super magnification. Nice coin!
