Well,
They fooled me then with them being 90s.Looking at the distance from the memorial and the shape of the intitials looked to me to be RDV-005. This may be part of the problem resulting with the delisted RDV. When the die becomes worn or abraided the design changes a bit. I guess I need to study some "more" on these.

Here's images from a 1990D Reverse RDV-006 (at least 99% sure it's RDV006)Attached FilesPat Sherman

It should change my mind because of the year it should not be possible but the next step would be, if I was that sure of myself just looking at the photos, I would suggest that Dr. Wiles may wish to see them. I just looked at several 89, 90 and once the abraision becomes a factor it is a bit difficult to determine. The leg of the G on the RDV-006 begins to wear away and with further abraision it starts to look like the RDV-005. This abraision I believe is what Dr. Wiles discussed as the factor resulting in the delisting of one of the RDVs. AND I am no where near the level he has attained but I am plugging along.

I see the delima the die abrasion causes. I would think that even with that Dr. Wiles and maybe others have a formula for placement of those initials by now. I think I may have seen a grid or something similar concerning this very issue but can't remember where. David may know.
I would have to say anything can happen but I really don't think the RDV-005 will go into '90.

Yes about the scope... Now that the holidays are winding down I may be able to start thinking seriously about one.Pat Sherman

Here are two overlayed, the RDV-005 and the RDV-006. These would just be two examples. Every coin will have subtle differences with the die wear but you can see that some of these appear very close. the distance from the building is further on the (5) as well as the upper curve of the G extenting further over the leg of the G. Thickness of the letters is also a factor. The leg of the G is not as prominent on this (6) concerning the lower portion of the leg that usually looks to come to a point south with less wear. This is just to show how close they are and can be a lot closer in appearance. Die markers are going to be a factor in attribution as well.
Just another opinion of mine.
I think I may have confused myself again
Anybody else have thoughts on this or am I way off on this.
