Owner Comments:
Type 1 Old Reverse. The differences between the Type 1 Old Reverse and the Type 2 New Reverse are quite subtle. The single difference in these two reverses that I find most easy to discern is the inner shape of the letter "O" in "OF". The "O" on the Type 1 reverse is oval, while the inner shape of the "O" on the Type 2 reverse is round.
