I can never tell if it's just a poor strike, glare, split plate doubling, etc, or actually the reverse of 89 variety. Edited by SamCoin 04/26/2020 6:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 6:28 pm Not sure why, but no matter how hard I stare, it looks like I'm seeing a hook and a flare on the G. Probably just been staring at it too long... Report this Post to the Staff

For me, the best two ways to tell is the distance from the memorial and besides the obvious the G on the RDV-006 has a rounder back than the RDV-005 where the back of the G is more straight up and down.
