<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1721907, member: 66"]Another good identifying feature that can be used even on HEAVILY worn coin is the leaf cluster below GOD (or where GOD would be). Look at the outermost leaf in in the cluster. On the large motto the outer leaf is very small, just a sliver, and far away from the ribbon. (See the OP coin). On the small motto that leaf is large and thick, very close to the ribbon.</p><p><br /></p><p>See this image from coinfacts. On the image they have circled the D in GOD to show that difference, but look at the outer leaf in the cluster below GOD in each image and notice the difference. That is a clear difference and in a protected area where it would probably be visible even on a Fr-2 coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR9PcVwihyTZTv9e0YO3FVYxHS5Zxn58wG6v3enyG9aXoZH6V4O" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
