<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 130911, member: 1674"]All US coin denonimations were redesigned from 1990-1992 and the result was what I call the "spaghetti-hair" varieties. Basically, the mint took the classic designs and added hair and beard detail, so the modern (1992-date) versions of those coins appear to have better detail than the 1930-1960 versions. Also dies are retired more quickly now than back then so worn die coins are less likely now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
