The writer of the article uses this image to illustrate the difference between the 1909 figures that have &quot;awkward shapes and erratic spacing, and the the motto that got fixed sixty years later...</p><p>unsnip&gt;</p><p><br /></p><p>My bet is that the upper coin is A) a much more worn specimen, or B) not a 1909. The hair is not nearly as detailed on the upper coin which could b either A or B. Alternatively, the upper coin is from a much later period .&nbsp; If I recall correctly, they used the same master hub until 1969, by which time most of the detail was gone. Based on the shape of the &quot;W&quot; in &quot;We&quot;, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if the upper coin was actually a 50&#039;s era coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
