The large stars variety has slightly larger stars - but it is often difficult to distinguish the difference between the small stars and large stars. The large stars variety has a recut letter "T" in the word "LIBERTY" - which looks doubled. Also star number 10 is also recut and slight doubled at the upper-most spike. The large stars are slightly closer to the rim of the coin than the smaller stars. These features and the differences between the 1806 small stars vs large stars half dollar is depicted below in the example comparison image of the coins:
