Here is one I cannot be sure of. I know Lucien can but anybody else is welcome to chime in too.I just found an RDV-006 last week so odds are against me.

Almost looks like 006, but it's a tough call...I would wait for the pros on this one... -
Looks like a 005 to me.

This is a tough one, I would need to see additional pics from a different angle with better lighting to call this an 06. I can't see the horizontal bar which is supposed to be on the G and there is some wear/damage in that area. I have to hold my decision until I see additional pics.

Ok, I'm going to say it's an 005 and why I think it is.
1. When looking at the G in the initials, you will see the vertical line that is extra thick. There are a number of dies that show this deceptive looking part og the initials making us wonder if the thickness is actually hiding the cross bar on a 006 G. And it's not. It is what you see. Just a Plain G with a thick vertical line.
2. The F in the initials is slightly further away from the right side of the memorial on 005 dies and closer on the 006 dies. The F on your coin shows the distance of a 005 die.
based on those factors, I'm going to say it's an -005.Rock

Well no need for further pics, I think Rock, Bob and Jason were unanimous on this one. I did see the spacing on the F but I look at everything when making the RDV006 call.

Thanks guys, it was great to see what others look for. This coin took a perfect hit to shorten the top of the G and along with the thick vertical bar it was one of the trickiest I have seen.Comment
