1799 GB Half Penny - which variety?

TwoKopeiki

Here's a close-up of the ship. Which variety is this one? Worth slabbing if the coin is ~MS63-64BN?

I'll guess 5 gunport variety, can you try angling the light a couple of different directions to see if another shows up? Sometimes it's very difficult to tell unless the lighting hits just right. Certainly worth slabbing 63's or better.

I'll try to do a few more shots, but I only see 4 gunports.

The 5th one should be forward of the other four, I don't know of a 4 gunport variety and usually the 5th is just weakly struck and hidden in the forward detail.
