Type 1 - Choice Uncirculated — Full-Head Example: All Details In Hair Are Well Defined; Hair cords well defined/distinct; Hair Line Along Face Is Raised & Complete; Eyebrow Is Visible; Cheek Is Rounded

TYPE 1: Obverse features Liberty's exposed bare-breast as opposed to it being covered w/ chain mail on the Type 2 variety - Reverse features 7 stars on the left side & 6 stars on the right w/ none below the eagle.

"The Type 2 design was introduced as a result of an urban legend that a public outcry arose over Liberty's bare-breast which prompted it to be covered in a coat of chain mail. However, it is likely the revised design was a response to WWI and America's military posturing."
