Good point 52Raymo! My Two Cent series is easy at a glance 99% of the time I look, the IHC series is a LOT tougher to tell.

I just noticed something about the 5 that I had not noticed before. On the Center loop corner, there appear to be a notch on the normal '5' and the fancy one does not have this notch on that location.
