2003 Suffrage: 2 Varieties Large reverse and Small reverse. There are several ways to tell them apart, but I find what I show in the following images are the easiest. The two varieties side by side, large rev left, small rev right  Shows the difference in the length of the left prong of the trident  Shows the two text types and the difference where the trident handle crosses between the L and A, note the difference in gaps between letters.  Generally, the text on the large Rev is thick and on the small rev it is thin. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Very useful pointers for distinguishing these Nancy (and great photos too). Now I just need to find mine and see what I have!
Which version seems to be the more common?

It seems to be about 50 x 50, so neither variety is scarce.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

There is a noticeable difference in the gap under the images and the border. Should be easy to find, even with worn coins.

thankyou Nancy for this concise, but informative, and well-illustrated article.
Until recently, I was often picking up near-Unc examples of the suffrage dollar here in Darwin.
I'll have to see how many of which variety I have.

Very nice photo documentation for these two varieties. I see the lettering spacing from the edge is different too. If I were to guess, those two are different enough to require too different hubs.  That would be a lot of duplicate work. Edited by DVCollector

Does anyone know which variety is more numerous? or have any stats? That would be really helpful.
