The 1829 Large Letters variety uses bolder, taller letter punches for the reverse inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The distinction from the Medium Letters variety is in the size of the reverse lettering, not the obverse design or date. The Large Letters version represents one group of die marriages from the year's production.
The letter-size distinction (Large versus Medium) becomes a recurring variety marker in the late 1820s and early 1830s Coronet Head series. Collectors who track these varieties build a detailed picture of which punches the Mint used across different die pairs during each year.
