[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4857712, member: 105098"]your is the large letter variety. I also use the F, on the small letters variety it's closer to the wingtip of the eagle than it is on the Large date. Also, the top right edge of the F of "of" ends between denticles on the large letter variety, while on the small letter variety it ends on a denticle. The last A in America is also closer to the tail feathers on the Large letters variety. I'm not an expert here,but believe I have it well pegged, always room ofr 2nd and 3rd opinions of course! in your picture, the A and M should have feet that wore off the letters, but if they were there, it would clearly be next to near touching. either way I think they were similarly minted and neither is rarer or mover valuable than the other. I like the obverse, looks nice enough sir![/QUOTE]
