KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/21/2008 7:56 pm Update: after consulting my Charest and Charlton's and discussing this with another collector, I am certain this is the blunt 5 variety. The genuine pointed 5 has a die chip at the end of the flag, and overall the shape of the numeral is slightly different. When I find a genuine example, I'll post comparison photos. Definitely a LB: I'm certain this is a blunt 5 because it doesn't have the die chip: Here's a different example of a blunt 5, which may only appear more blunt due to lighting or resolution of the photo: Edited by KurtS 01/23/2008 1:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The photos, (yours), Mmine, and the first poster, (who started all this), all appear to be V.4 The angles in the book, on J&M.com, and the three sets of photos all show the very same angle, on the end of the 5. Lets celebrate! We got it! Lets NOT celebrate! The cause of the "angle" is a die chip at the point if the horizontal bar of the "5", causing a "false end, and angle. Variety 3 folks, sorry. I found another, today, same story, V3. Dick Dick Edited by livingdinasaur 01/22/2008 10:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
