1957 Halfpenny types

[Master Jmd 89]

I have just been flicking through the pages on the Dr. Nicholson Collection, and i came to 1957 where it says "(For the super-specialist who is aware that there are four sub-varieties for the Calm Sea variety, this one has a Pointed 7 pointing directly at a bead, which is the commonest of the four sub-varieties.)".

A while back, I was given a tin which was (and still is) full of 1957 and 1958 halfpennies...

I was wondering what these 'four sub-varieties' are, and what their rarities are...

Sorry my post doesnt make sense, I thought you wanted four varieties just for 1957, not for the Calm sea variety in itself.
