Yeah, I think I also see a pointed bust as well...
A bit beat up though but still nice to find these.

Weight?

Coinfrog, it's too thin to be a CN. I just went ahead and weighed. It actually only weighs 2.79g!!

ever heard of the 'pointy bust' before.

Yes, I should be more precise. "pointy neck truncation" on left side that is characteristic of L on ribbon variety

L variety

But crusty as can be, no extra value for me
