rounded leaves vs. pointed leaves, canadian 5-cent

ernie11

I am trying to tell if my 1910 Canadian 5-cent coin is the rounded leaves or pointed leaves variety. Don't have equipment to take a good photo, so does anybody know of a website with side-by-side pictures or can anyone give me any diagnostics? I compare mine with some selling on sale on eBay and sometimes I think mine is rounded leaves and other times I think it's pointed leaves. Thanks very much.

The J&M site has a price guide and pics of the variety you're looking for sorry I don't know how to attach a link

Thanks very much for pointing me to that website. I think it's the rounded leaves variety. Normally wouldn't make much difference, but my coin is in the XF / AU range of grade.

The diagnostic that I use: Look at the 2nd leaf from the bottom on the right side. The rounded leaves variety it points directly to the rim/a bit downward. On the pointed leaves it curves upwards and looks, well, pointy!
