<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2338099, member: 66"]I've answered this one before. In 2000 the three zeros in the date required either more space between the neck and the rim or the font size would have to be made smaller. So they slightly reduced the size of the bust and took the opportunity to also move LIBERTY a little further from the rim. So yes the post 1999 dimes have a smaller bust than the pre 2000 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know if there were size changes at other times in the series, but the change in 2000 was very noticeable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
