Kennedy Experts??

throughout the production of Kennedy's, has there ever been a difference in the size of Kennedy and lettering on the obverse -looking through some coins tonight and noticed an obvious difference in the image of Kennedy and lettering on a 1982D (large) vs 1998D (small) - thanking you in advance.

    When the Kennedy Dollar first came out, the portrait on the obverse was very dominant.

    In 1996, the portrait was reduced in size which gives it the appearance of a small headed Kennedy.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
