Was not aware of this variety before, thanks for sharing it!
It does look to match RDV-007, but the Adam's apple doesn't seem very high relief to me. Looking at PCGS images yours looks closer to the lower relief (ODV-022), but then again this variety is new to me.

The ponytail is the tell tail on the RDV-006. Very high relief.

I have tried to understand this one before and could never see what was different between RDV-007 and RDV-006. I feel like I'm playing one of those "spot the difference" games when I look at the pictures on variety vista, and the description is hard to understand (thin vertical on right side of what? Where?)

I see the difference between RDV-006 and 007, subtle, but I see it.  The OBV-022/023 though, I don't see any difference in the ponytail. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...images/84088On the PCGS site for 1972 5c, the top four images look to have a higher relief Adam's apple than the last three. (So I assume first 4 are -023 and last 3 are -022) But I do not see any noticeable differences in the ponytail between these two groups of images. |

That is the thin raised line on the right side that Variety Vista is referring to when describing the RDV-007. On Variety Vista it does not show this reverse paired with anything but the ODV-023. If it were paired with the ODV-022, wouldn't that make it a new discovery?

I missed that the first time I looked. No idea what to think about this one.  |

I think it's definitely ODV-023. It just looks a little flat from circulation wear. ODV-022 is much weaker in the Adam's apple than this one.

The circulation wear theory is my thought as well.

Wow! Good eye. I definitely would not have caught this. Nice find!
