ronh308 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 05:48 am I recently bought a 1934 quarter with heavy motto. No doubt about it. It exactly matched the image in the RedBook. Try as I might, I can't seem to find a light motto quarter which matches the image in the RedBook. What am I missing? The principle difference appears to be the position of the "E" in "WE" In the heavy motto, the base of the E extends below the bottom of the W and in the light, it does not. Seems simple. Yet no light motto I have shown shows the bottom of the E above the bottom of the W.. Any thoughts? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Not only are the letters in GWT thinner than the heavy motto but it's like a weak strike just on the motto . I have yet to come across one . Report this Post to the Staff

While I question that this is just an issue of die wear/polishing/grease fill issue, it was listed and slabbed. The master hub creates the master die, and how it would be different seems to me to be a die issue, not a design issue. Edited by coop 04/16/2017 7:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
