No. Not that blunted. Also those are not pot leaves on the back. It refers to the font on the 5 in the date. Blunted 5 is more boxy while a Pointed 5 has more angles.

| Blunted 5, note the top of the 5 does not have a 45 degree angle, and the center of the 5 ends at a point not an angle. |
The Pointed 5 is more scarce and in low grades is worth about 7 times the Blunted 5 value. The Pointed 5 has a sharper angle at the top, a thinner font overall, and an obvious angled edge connecting the curved part of the 5 to the top. I have not found the pointed 5 but when I do I will do a side-by-side picture comparison.
Here's the stats...

Do you have a cent

history for you.
