How Many Edge Serrations on Silver Groats? - 1837 William IV For Example

I found a few nice silver groats, mainly because I wanted better photos than previously, for one of a series of pages on our oldest website, about Britannia on British and other coins. Then it occurred to me that we might as well get a count on their edge serrations, mainly so we will know for future use, and partly because nobody else seems to have done it before.

Before we do the serration count images, does anyone want to guess how many on this 1837 William IV example:

Of course, you are allowed to cheat, and actually count them rather than guessing.

If that's too easy, you can always count the denticles as well.

Have fun!

No!

OK, here goes:

As you can see, the answer is 95. 

So, @SidS was extremely close at 96.

Anybody want another coin?
