Hello Group

What year in the 90s was the reduced size Kennedy bust first used on Kennedy Halfs? Thanks

Ha no 😀 Iwas just wondering if there's an actual cutoff date. When I compare for example a 1975 and a 2005 the difference seems to be obvious, but when I compare year to year (using pics) not so much. But now that I see the 1994 vs 1995 I see it now (for those perception challenged like me look at tip of the bust vs second digit of the date). Thanks @Manifest_Destiny

This doesn't say anything about the size of the bust but it will show you years to look for design changes.

It appears to have happened in 1999.
