<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 4605623, member: 77413&quot;]Here is the difference between type 2 and type 3. Look at the dishing around the date. One is flat and the other is carved away so the date is below the surface of the coin. The date is in a different font: with prominent serifs up to 1924, and a smaller font that fit better into the smaller space that was available.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: The PCGS CoinFacts website and application refer to these as Type 2a and Type 2b. I have seen some references to Type 3 on the web, but I defer to PCGS and go with 2a and 2b since the change is minor.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1141003[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1141004[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>They could have done this from the beginning; the Walking Liberty half dollar, also introduced in 1916, has the date in a recess as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1140982[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
