yes, I agree SF, LD. The easiest way to tell is the hihjly flared 'I' in 'DEI' on the Large Date coins VS the less flared 'I' in the NSF version.

LD...vertical line through Maltese cross points between denticles.
SD...vertical line through Maltese cross points to a denticle.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Ok so I double checked these with what I have learned so far and they appear to be what they say, but I am wrong so often I thought I better double check. Thanks for any input, I have no idea why the NSS and SS though? Thought it was NSF and SF? 1953 LD nss   1953 LD SS   1953 SD   Edited by ralfsnart

Just different terminology.
Most people refer to the variety as NSF and SF
but it is also known as NSS (No Shoulder Strap)
and SS (Shoulder Strap)

LOL ok thanks. I was wondering if it just wasnt old timer terminology LOL Show my ignorance, what does the shoulder strap or folds refer too  Figured it out, it has to do with the "folds" on her back right? Edited by ralfsnart

On the NSF, the lines are there but are so light that they wore down easily making the shoulder look bare. New dies were made strengthening the detail so that the shoulder strap was distinguishable. This applies to all denominations in 1953. |
