Hi
I am new here and to the world of coin collecting.
Just wondering if someone could help me with a question.
The 1999 10 cent large head.
Is it not possible that this is in fact a mule coin?
If a $1 obverse die was used , wouldnt this account for the difference in appearance? While it is referred to as a " large head" I believe the head is normal and only the fact that lettering is closer to the rim is the difference. Which I think could be achieved by using the dollar obverse?
So this would or could be considered a mule?
Any help or thoughts are appreciated.
Cheers

I doubt it is - the dollar is a bit bigger I think if it was a mule there would be almost no rim on the obverse I think.

The dollar also has big and small head obverses - seems like the RAM were still figuring out the best size for the new portrait.
