How do you tell how many pearls an Australian King George V coin has?

Coin dealers use the term "8 pearls" or a lesser number, to describe the condition of the obverse of George V (1911-1936) coins (not only Pennies) with a crowned effigy.
The term refers to the 4 sets of double dots (or pearls) located across the band of the crown. The lower the condition of a coin, the less the number of "pearls" that are visible.
The band of the crown where the pearls are located is one of the high relief areas of the obverse and therefore one of the first areas to show wear.
Pictures showing this feature clearly, or at all, are difficult to come by.
