Rabbithole1 Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 01/22/2020 07:41 am I have two quarter proofs with a different reeding design. The 1969s weighs 5.7 and is the one showing a narrower top surface of the reeding. (Pic on the left) The 1968s weighs 5.4 with a larger to surface of the reeding. Any ideas?

Since most people don't look at the reeding, differences are normally not noticed. Why there are differences is another question. Edited by kanga 01/22/2020 08:40 am Report this Post to the Staff

As Kanga said not a lot of attention has been paid to the collars and there could be differences in the collar from one year to the next. Report this Post to the Staff
