British 1875H Farthing Question

Does anyone know of a variety of the 1875-H farthing with a strongly doubled 8 in the date? The rest of the numbers have some evidence of repunching to the right of the date, but the 8 is easy to see. I would include photos, and may doso later, but my friend currently has my camera.

Thanks,
Bill

    Can anyone post photos of the two types of busts for this date? I'd like to see if I can tell what I have.

    This is the common obverse.

    The rose brooch is almost hidden.
    On the rare obverse, the portrait is younger and the rose is fully visible,
    similar to this 1872 example.
