The 1834 Large Letter Reverse uses the bolder, taller letter punches for the reverse inscription. Combined with the various obverse configurations (date and star sizes), the Large Letter Reverse adds another layer to the 1834 variety matrix. The reverse lettering is the most immediately visible of the three distinguishing features.
