KellyM New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 03/15/2023 3:49 pm Hello. I have this Susan B Anthony and I am wondering what makes the letters so much bigger then all the other ones? I have posted a picture of the single coin then 2 1979 D susan B Anthony's side by side. I have no idea why it is so different. Any knowledge and help would be appreciated for sure!

Perhaps a bit too much pressure was applied causing the letters to appear larger. That's just a wild guess. I suppose the proper term is LDS like John 1 said.
