Lonz Valued Member 494 Posts	Posted 05/15/2012 11:58 pm Found this while roll searching. This was the most intriguing of all that I searched. I found one that was an almost identical grade, but it was clearly RDV-005 -very thin, and no serif on the g to speak of. My biggest problem with what I've seen is that it seems to have a serif, but nothing that drops below. The "F" looks like 006 What are your thoughts - and please be descriptive as to what I should be looking for if in fact this is in fact an RDV-005. Report this Post to the Staff

Lonz Valued Member 494 Posts	Posted 05/16/2012 06:03 am Thanks tatt2ed13 for the images. When I look at the references and my coin it looks different than both. Maybe a strategic dent makes it look like the g has a serif - I don't know. LOL Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/16/2012 12:39 pm Something I noticed as a difference on BU example of the 005 & 006 Is the shape of the M on AMERICA. The 005 is rounded. The 006 is flat. Here is an image incase you need a second point to check for. On circulated examples the 005 M can be flattened, but the shape should be the same if no contact is made on the other devices. Just my observance. Report this Post to the Staff

Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 05/17/2012 08:35 am Your coin is definitely an RDV-005....notice how the center of the G is further east on an RDV-006 when compared to the bottom edge of the memorial building.
