I'm beginning to think there is a myth surrounding the "tell-tale signs" indicating restrike buttons, one of them being the flawed G and T. While in the course of checking backmarks I came up with an a/a QC RAOC with above flawed letters. Obiously not a restrike. I am comfortable that such a backmark is a clear sign to collectors that 'out of period' buttons such as RDF and RMF are restrikes.
