Just got my 2008W ASE today- compared it to the 2008/2007Rev that I have and noticed the West Point MM seems different (in addition to the other reported differences- the Stars, the U in United ,the tilde etc.

The first 2 pics are of the 2008/2007W Rev and the last 2 are of the 2008/2008WRev.

It looks like the crossbars over the W are different and the 2007 W looks like a much bolder letter than the 08.

Definitely different MM styles, but that isn't surprising considering everything else changed. It would be rather odd if they changed all the rest of the letters, the stars, the central devices, and left the MM alone.

the U in United ,the tilde etc.

Those are just the two most obvious changes if you do a close comparison you will find that a completely different font style has been used and all of the letters on the 2008 rev are different from those on the 2007.

True- Personally I like the fonts on the 07W Rev better than the 08WRev

Also, on my 08/07W- the entire coin just has more of a shine to it , not as dull looking as the 08/08W I just got- it just looks nicer (IMHO) than the 08/08W does.

Can you tell me if 2008/2007 and 2008/2008 West Point mm are the Proof coins or the Brilliant Uncirculated coins where this die mix has occurred? Thanks, Wayne

Brissyboy,
the variety is on the Uncirculated W version, none have been found on proofs(so far...)
