[QUOTE="Insider, post: 7794272, member: 24314"][USER=3926]@justafarmer[/USER] Interesting. I'll try to remember to look. Here is something to consider. It takes a good eye and comparison pieces to root out all the little things that get changed when a design is slightly modified. If you are not looking for them, the majority of us would miss them! I for one never noticed most of these changes UNTIL others found them. That's mostly because other things are generally used to authenticate coins. Today, with internet images, anyone can do some great research. For example, the reverses of shield nickels w/o rays looked al the same for me.
