Dookie, if you notice the 19 are in the same position on almost all the coins. The 1 is a tad lower across the top but is same year to year, Master dies were produced using the same Mold on the Galvano units to transfer the images of the Bust, LIBERTY and the 19 on most coins from the same mold. Small changes would occur year to year, to the bust, front of coat, necktie, most all minor and unnoticible. So slight changes in detail placement was just part of the die making process. Only thing your missing is just that, not any error, just normal die making.
As to your post question, in 1960 BOTH were used. They were having trouble with the larger dies breaking among the details and tried a smaller, but went back to larger in 1961.
