    Hi all,
    I picked up some coins last weekend at an estate sale and I need an opinion maybe from some with better eyes then I. I know there are two versions of this coin a large motto and a small motto.I must apologize in advance for my pictures as they are just from a Canon Powershot A530. On top of that-This coin has been well circulated but can you tell me what version it is?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ron
