AndrewC Valued Member United States 335 Posts	Posted 03/29/2010 2:13 pm Look at the corner of the 5 in the middle, on the left. If it's squared off, rather than pointed, it's a pointed 5. I think that's easier than looking at the tip of the 5. Yours is a pointed 5. Report this Post to the Staff
collectall Pillar of the Community Canada 610 Posts	Posted 03/29/2010 3:30 pm Thanks AndrewC Now I Have one for comparison in the event an other will show up.(By the way this is my FIRST pointed 5 found) Edited by collectall 03/29/2010 3:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 04/20/2010 1:02 pm Is there another version of the blunt 5? I have found 5's that are pointed but not enough for me to think they are the pointed 5's, but they are definitely not at a flush 90 degree angle. Report this Post to the Staff
jg86 Pillar of the Community Canada 686 Posts	Posted 04/20/2010 1:40 pm they are probably just normal blunt 5's. the pointed 5's are distinct, in my opinion. maybe its wear? maybe someone tried turning a blunt into a pointed? Report this Post to the Staff
splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 04/20/2010 2:59 pm I would expect damage if someone tried to turn a blunt into a point, and the damage just isn't there. About 5-10% of the blunt 5's I'm talking about have a 10-15 degree point. Very subtle, nothing like the image above. I will have to look at the corder in the middle-left of the 5 to see how they are.
