If there is a question of authenticity of the variety it may be helpful to refer to the designers initials &#039;FG.&#039;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For the type I reverse (close AM), in the letter &#039;G&#039; it will look square with no real detail.</p><p>For the type II reverse (wide AM), in the letter &#039;G&#039; it will have much more defined serifs as depicted in the last two photos. The second photo included is I took from an actual proof coin as you can see the similarities being that the type II reverse is that found on proof coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please feel free to post comments, questions or imput. The first three people to due so I will mail them a complimentory example of the 2000 type II reverse (wide AM) in au-unc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
