This might end-up being too small to be of any use, but ... there are differences in the overall size and the details within each of the two busts (the Large Bust, is slightly larger but also has less "detail" in the hair) ... plus, the Small bust has fewer rim beeds placed further from the rim ... yup, I'm curious once I hit post-new-reply, if this will be of any use? (oh well, here goes nuthin')  ... ooops, it was kinda useless ... but maybe you can see some difference if you put your 10xloupe right up to the screen! Edited by stevex6

I asked this question a while ago on the forum, and someone posted this picture which really helped me. (I can't seem to find my original thread, but I did save the picture) *Look at the detail in the hair, that is a dead giveaway.  Everytime I come across a helpful picture on the forum I always save a copy to my "Canadian Coin Reference" Folder. Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

Thats a great idea! I'm going to start a "Canadian Coin Reference" Folder.
I really see the diff in the robe below the shoulder as well. Think it's more noticable when you have a dirty coin. I had to ask because I gave a 1973 quarter to my exchange student that is leaving on friday and I wanted to check it out since I just learned about it today. Imagine that! Give away a $120 quarter....lol

The beads on the large bust are almost up against the rim where in the small bust they are further away.

I have always found the easiest way is to look at the hair- the large bust has almost smooth hair, the small bust (common) has very detailed and incised hair. You don't need another to do this comparison. I got my first one by going through 10-40 rolls of quarters a day for several months. I knew another man who got his from an ice cream truck.

Man, you guys make it hard on yourselves. All you have to do is compare it to a 1970-71-72. If it's the same, it's large. (The beads near the rim or away from the rim is the other dead give-away, not the hair which may be worn down by now).

Good-day
Just wanted to pass on a little info on telling the difference between the two...the main difference I see is the dress has a "kink" in the shoulder area of the dress.. just above the letter "B" in "Bust" in Canadian-Banknotes fantastic post of the two.
Take care
