TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 05/27/2019 8:17 pm Time to show off my awesome examples of the 1894 Twenty Cent obverse 1 and obverse 2. The easiest marker I know is the shape of the queens forehead. In the earliest version of the coin the forehead is more rounded at the top whereas obverse 2 has a flatter less sloped curve to the forehead. It can be hard to see the difference. Anyone know any other markers for this variety? Report this Post to the Staff

Much like the difference between Vicky large cent Obv 1 & 2. The #1 touches and points directly to the "O". The #2 has a large gal and it points to the gap between the "O" and the "F".

TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 05/28/2019 07:28 am Thanks for that! I see the difference in the distance to the O. Spruett001 - sorry pal but I'm not taking them out of the 2x2 for you. I have clearer pics that I couldn't upload to the forum. If you would like to see clearer pics just email me.
