<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 26638907, member: 74863&quot;]Correct but the design was change in 1925. From 1916 to 1924 the date was too high and wore off easily in circulation. In 1925 the date was recessed making it lower. It’s stayed that way until 1930 when the last ones were produced.</p><p><br /></p><p>What this created is worn dates on the earlier issues and readable dates on the later issues. Because of the worn dates, it has caused prices to be higher on the earlier issues, despite higher mintages. The recessed dates have lower mintages but cost less. </p><p>A 1921 with a mintage of 1,916,000 is about a $100 coin. A 1927-S has a mintage if 396,000 but is about a third of the cost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
