<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1908434, member: 15309&quot;]The coin on the left is indeed a 1916.&nbsp; The coin on the right is an example of a 1918 hub.&nbsp; All coins from 1918 to 1945 use the hub of 1918.</p><p><br /></p><p>The key differences between the hub of 1916 and 1918 are as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>1)&nbsp; The overall relief of the 1916 is higher but that is impossible to discern from these photos</p><p>2)&nbsp; The rims are significantly wider on the 1916</p><p>3)&nbsp; The curls are higher relief, specifically the curl that points at the nose.&nbsp; On the 1916 that curl will typically be bold and defined whereas it will always be weak and partially blended on a 1918 hub coin.</p><p>4)&nbsp; The details of the wing were enhanced and more boldly engraved on the 1918 hub.</p><p>5)&nbsp; The 1916 has textured fields, but again, that is very hard to see in photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given all the drama on this forum, I thought it would be nice to have a good numismatic thread for a change.&nbsp; Good job guys, you got it pretty quick![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
