I always look for the angled down stroke that connects to the lower semicircle. I know this coin is not is the best shape, but it does not look like there has been any hard hits to the area around the 5 that would change the look of the 5. Please give me your thoughts Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 10/16/2015 2:46 pm I agree, however this pointed 5 is almost blunt compared to the dozen or so I already have. is there more than 1 type of pointed 5? I have not heard of this. Report this Post to the Staff
