<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2254966, member: 19165&quot;]It is hard to see your coin with your pics... could you crop the pic of the reverse to just show the coin? All that extra space is wasted.... </p><p><br /></p><p>However, from what I can see you appear to have the small letters. While Markus&#039; pictograph is great, there are a large number of varieties from the year. Since each letter was hand-punched, each variety will show a different spread between the words. </p><p><br /></p><p>After looking at enough of them, the difference becomes obvious. However, one indication I often look at is the O of &quot;Of&quot;. Notice on the Small letters how the interior of the O is more rounded, and the top and bottom are somewhat thick. Compare that to the Large Letters - the top and bottom of the O are comparatively thin, and the angles are more &quot;square.&quot; Check the auction archives at Heritage, and if you look at enough coins, you&#039;ll see a difference. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Overton book is essential if you are going to start trying to attribute these. </p><p><br /></p><p>You could also check the CoinZip reference here: <a href="http://coinzip.proboards.com/board/71/1830" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinzip.proboards.com/board/71/1830" rel="nofollow">http://coinzip.proboards.com/board/71/1830</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
