Quote: How do I tell if the coins I have are "Heavy Motto"?
Compare them to a '32, which will be an example of the Light (I think they actually call it Medium) Motto. The two quickest points I could see are:
Light Motto: The center spire of the W ends below the tops of the outsides, the the stroke of the crossbar of the first T is noticeably thinner than the downstroke.
Heavy Motto: The center spire end flush with, or even a little higher than, the outsides of the W, and the crossbar of the T is as thick as the downstroke.
I think both the coins you presented here are Light Mottos.
