The G in REG has a spike coming out of it on the OBV. Here's the REV

I could give you the relevant numbers and letters, but to assist I have a page which highlights the Obverse varieties if you pick out the right Obverse, I will tell you the reverse!!

Ok, am thinking OBV 5 due to the fact Freemans describes a flaw which is prevelant on the G in REG where there is sometimes a protrusion above the short horizontal bar, which this has and can be seen in my OBV pic. Although i was initially thinking OBV 3 until i read this.

You are correct it is Obverse 5, the easiest way to distinguish between Obverse 3 and 5 is that Obverse 3 has a full brooch, whereas Obverse 5 only has a partial brooch visible.

It is also Reverse C
