I believe there were a baker's dozen or so made by Barber that portrayed a much larger bust of Lincoln's and no IGWT motto on the obverse. Evidently, the bust was deemed to large, reduced and IGWT placed in the empty space.
The question is...Did any of the 13 or so "pattern" pieces survive?
Almost as intriguing as the 1917 MPL.
