[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 2995011, member: 88829"]The two obverses have different break patterns for the inscription. Continuous without stephane, and broken around it when present. Another point of distinction on this reverse type is the "roving" dot between the boys, which I take for a centration artifact. But it is not consistently present.
