HC 1926 B - Obverse 4

(Modified effigy )

HC 1926 A - Obverse 3 - R to tooth; I to left of tooth

HC 1926 B - Obverse 4 - R to gap between 2 teeth; I to tooth

Obv. 3 - The rim appears thinnish and with small roundish border teeth.

               The upright leg of R of GEORGIVS points to a border tooth and the

                I of GEORGIVS points to the left of a border tooth.

               The 1st T of BRITT points to a gap between two border teeth.

               The legend is slightly further from the border teeth.

               George's head, hair and beard are flatting - virtually no detail even on an UNC coin.

Obv. 4  - The rim appears thicker and the border teeth appear to be more oblong.

               The upright leg of R of GEORGIVS points to a gap between border teeth

               and the I of GEORGIVS points directly to a border tooth.

               The 1st T of BRITT points to a gap between border teeth.

               The legend is slightly closer to the border teeth.   

               George's head appears slightly raised. His hair, beard have all been re-cut    

               with sharper lines. There appears to be a raised horseshoe shape around

               the forehead and cheek below the eye making the eye area more prominent.
