[Shane Daniel]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RDV-003 = Type C = IIIo --> serif on N of UNUM
RDV-004 = Type D = IIIa1 --> inside edge of wing where it joins body is very weak
Type D (not RDV-004/IIIa1) --> huge gap between right side of N of UNUM and eagle's head
RDV-005 = Type E = IIIa2 --> incuse (sunken) outline of eagle's left wing
RDV-006 = Type F = IIIb --> master hub doubling inside top of Q in QUARTER
RDV-007 = Type M (or G) = IIIm --> rounded (not pointed) leaf to left of arrowpoints
RDV-008 = Type B (or H) = IIb --> leaf to left of arrowpoints extends above arrowpoints
Reverse of 1972 = IIIb/m (?) --> rotated doubling that shows up best in bottom lettering?
RDV-009 = IIIc
RDV-011 = IV = IVa --> N and I in UNITED merged on top serifs?
RDV-012 = IVb --> N and I in UNITED are merged at bottom and at top?
