  It looks like the A and M in America are separated, therefore it is a small Letter.

  What he said.
  
  This variety is easy enough to distinguish (even *I* can do it, haha).
  
  A and M in AMERICA separated = Small Letters
  
  A and M in AMERICA joined at base = Large Letters

  BTW, I like the look of that coin. Has a nice look for an upper-end circ.

  (MAD = Mis- Aligned Dies, for those who were stumped by the previous post. It took me a second. I usually say "rotated dies".)
