[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 25921912, member: 101855"]Here are the two coins side by side. [ATTACH=full]1650343[/ATTACH] If the mint made the 2021 the same way as they made the 2009 High Relief $20 gold pieces, there is really little difference except of the fact that they got all of the hair detail. The modern method is to take a picture of the original work and create a "mother die" with lasers. Here is the reverse.
