<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 3570659, member: 3926&quot;]Some may recall many months back - I posted about a possible reverse design change concerning the Barber Half. Most notable the right side banner and &quot;E PLURIBIS&quot;. Since that time I have analyzed the images of 388 different Barber Halves ranging from the dates 1892 through 1907. Indications are this change occurred in 1901 and the transition continued through at least 1904. I found occurrences of both reverses in each year during this period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also while analyzing these coin images I noted a few other minor design deviations between the possible two different reverse hubs. I am also providing images illustrating these differences.</p><p><br /></p><p>I analyzed all the coins using a CAD System - Computer Aided Design System. Specifically TurboCad. I created a map of each reverse design in CAD. Merged the two maps together creating a single map containing both reverse designs. I then imported the coin images into my CAD workspace and overlaid the combined map onto each coin. I am providing a distribution of my results with this post.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a Barber Coin expert. Really not an expert on any specific series of coinage. Just an interested general collector. Therefore I am hesitant to make any confirmation concerning the existence of two different reverse design hubs used for minting the Barber Half series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know what you think.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]950979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]950980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]950981[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]950982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]950983[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]950984[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]950985[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]950986[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
