Question For You 2 Cent Collectors.

Here is a LM
two other indicators for the Sm are the berry under "IN" has a straight stalk.
The leaf stalk under "T" is curved not straight.

hope this helps there are others but these are the two easiest to see
even in a worn coin like the one shown



Small Motto

Thanks!

Another good indicator is the outermost leaf below GOD. On the large motto above note how small that leaf is compared to the same leaf on the small motto. This is visible even if the motto isn't.

Another way to tell is the left foot of the first T in TRUST almost touches the fold in the ribbon on the small motto. On the large motto it is well away from the fold.

On the small motto the T's in the motto are the same in width as they are in height. On the large motto they are about a third taller than their width.

The next to the lowest cluster of leaves on the left has three outer leaves. On the large motto the outermost leaf is very small, the next is larger, and the lowest leaf is even larger. On the small motto the outermost leaf is large an the other two are almost equal in size with the middle leaf extending out unusually far.
