Kfseadog Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 09/15/2016 8:53 pm Thanks for the reference. I see both a fancy 5, with a plain 5 overdate. Not sure if/how that's possible. Report this Post to the Staff

alanwatkins New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 1:16 pm I would say this is definitely a fancy...the fancy has a knob on the 6, which you definitely have. But take a look at this site: http://www.indianheads.org/designpart4.html It says a very rare plain over fancy 6 DOES exist... Edited by alanwatkins 02/21/2017 1:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
