As an owner of a &quot:grin:ug small motto variety, I have had many people ask me the difference between the Large and small variety . I have found out that there are actually 11 documented difference if not more. Here is a website that shows the most common . They left out one of the major differences which is that the D is smaller than on the Large Motto.
Mine is located under Click here to see my album. You have to click above the coin and you'll get both sides of the coin.

Thanks Sal this is very good info to know. For when I find a 1864 lol

Funny thing- last night and this morning I've been working on cleaning my only 2 cent piece. 1865... the back was soooo grungy I thought it was non-legible. After soaking in oil for almost a year, it is coming off to expose the image! I'm glad I didn't give up on it. I also put it in boiling hydrogen peroxide which is helping loosen up the crud.
