Got this coin and a few other Pre Decimals at a garage sale to pick through. I thought that this coin may have the rare C die. Thoughts?

The letter C should be left of the lighthouse

This is what I was looking at on the coin. I thought it resembled a C.

In my opinion it isn't. Die letter C coins are Freeman reverse F which has a flat shield rim whereas this coin has a recessed shield rim.

Also the C would be higher up I think - level with the base of the lighthouse.
