The 73's were supposed to have the left leg of the M a little lower then the A but that seems to not be the case here. Don't believe flattening is simply the answer here either. After comparing to others I have, the M is still always visibly lower then the A on all the others I have to compare with. The design as well on the 74 has a different serif on the top loop of the C in America as the 73 does. I posted that here as well as mine and another 73 I have for comparison.

coinhusker26 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 03/15/2024 2:41 pm The bottom left leg on the A are also slightly different, with the '73 being significantly skinnier and the '74 also extends more to the bottom of the C Edited by coinhusker26 03/15/2024 3:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/15/2024 3:53 pm Looks like you're trying to compare 73 MD to 74 MD. Report this Post to the Staff
coinhusker26 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 03/15/2024 4:05 pm The coin in question is my 73 which looks to me like it has a 74 MD. The other coin is another 73 P I'm using for comparison. And other two are PCGS'c pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
