Is the a rev of 78 or a rev of 79. How do you tell the difference?

    rev '79, the reverse of '78 have a more concave look to them.

    Reverse of '79 (pictured) ... The topmost feather of the arrow bunch is flared.

    Reverse of '78 ... The topmost feather of the arrow bunch is straight (looks like the other feathers)

    Correct - the easiest way to tell is 78 has the arrow feathers all parallel and the eagle's breast is flat. 79 has the arrow feathers at angles as shown above and the eagle's breast is full.
