This variety has larger letters in the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and in the "50 C." denomination. Like in previous years - these larger letters are much easier to identify as there is less spacing between the rim and the letters. The small letters variety is very different than "small letters" varieties in previous years as the letters are much smaller and there is much greater spacing between them and the rim.
