  There are four large 0 varieties (120, 121, 122, 123). In none does AM touch. The zero is 2 3/4mm tall. I'm sure you can measure with calipers while you drive.
  
  Oops...you mean large letters not large 0. Never mind...

  O.114: 50C is large and high. Large, tall, broad letters. Arrowheads close together and touch shaft above. D and S are very close (1mm apart). Right sides of TI and DE in line. M lower than adjacent E. Same reverse used in 1828 (S).

  Thanks for the help. It is not large letters. The guy was calling it large letters, because they are bigger than other letters from other years. The price is now much more reasonable.
  
  Thanks

  Darn you people are smart. Or do you just sit at your puter
  with the right reference book in your lap, just waiting for the
  right question to come along?

  There once was a place called
  Camelot
