<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 26738845, member: 104064"]This one caught my eye, an 1891 50c Barber pattern. I'd never seen it before. What's interesting is that the inner ear detail is what Barber changed in 1901, which then looked more like this pattern. He did the same with the dime obverse in 1901 - made the inner ear look more like the 1891 dime pattern. It's like he wasn't happy with them for 10 years and finally "fixed" it. </p><p><a href="https://www.si.edu/object/50-cents-united-states-1891:nmah_1100114" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.si.edu/object/50-cents-united-states-1891:nmah_1100114" rel="nofollow">https://www.si.edu/object/50-cents-united-states-1891:nmah_1100114</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I was also surprised that their 1913 Liberty nickel wasn't highlighted, but there's a lot to pick from I guess.
