Are my eyes playing tricks or do these two halves look different?

These are two 1962 halves I just took a picture of for another thread, and as I looked at the reverses, it seems like the lettering on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is different - the coin on the left seems to have bolder, squattier lettering than the one on the right - am I hallucinating or does anyone else see that?

Looks the same to me. Get out your dial calipers and measure them.

The one on the right does look a little thicker, but, that could have come from the focus on your camera........Ken

The Eagle on the right looks like it turned into a turkey head and grew breasts

The pic on the right looks distorted.Maybe that is what is making the letters appear fatter.

hmmmm - maybe you're right - sometimes you just have to get a second opinion when you look at things too long - barkeep pass me another Margarita!
