Hinkle Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I'm trying to figure out what is small letters, and large letters. These two coins have a lot of wear. Got on line and the only way to tell between the two is by the A and tail feathers. I'm thinking the right coin is small, and left is large. But the coin on left has wide AM witch would be small. The right coin has close AM, that would be large. but thinking it's the wear making it look like that. Hmmmm, what would be your thoughts. 🤔🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKK Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Just eyeballing them, without even looking up the definition of the variants or doing any research of any sort, I can see that the legend letters on the coin on the right are notably larger than those of the left-hand coin. So I'd draw the logical conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still researching these. Idk if it's the photos on line or my two coins that's playing tricks on me. Lol.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm placing them in the correct spot in my album. I paid 20 bucks on this album and scanning through for any errors. But alot of slots need to be filled. Mainly the key dates are missing. I have the 1857-1909 album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Greenstang is correct. There really isn't a size difference between the large and small letters. The difference is in the AM of AMERICA. On the small letters the letters are seperated and the letters are all "upright". On the large letters the AM are joined at the base and the A is rotated slightly counterclockwise.

I learn something new every day. I was looking at the bottom A and the tail feathers . How there is a space between them. Idk why but it was kind of funky to me.😀😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
