Comments
FG engraver's signature
1982 is a transition year: the earliest coins were struck in 95% copper, and the latest coins were struck in copper plated zinc. One of the most noticeable differences between the two is the weights (3.11 grams versus 2.50 grams).
1969 D: aligned with the word LIBERTY, there are small differences in the position of the date, the mintmark D and the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST".
