[mhardin2413]

there are a number of changes. first, the sun is larger on the AE, and its rays extend farther. second, the date is no longer in a recess. and third, although it may not be visible, the flag now has a different star pattern reflecting 50 states.

The initials AW were moved to the hem of the gown of lady liberty.

Where the initials are placed. AAW on the half under the wing tips, on the hem of the gown for the ASE.

A guess. The flag has 50 stars instead of 48.

On the Half Dollar coin his initials appears under the tip of the wing feathers, where as on the US bullion $1 Silver eagles the initials are found on the hem of Walking Liberty's gown.

 

Thanks for the chance

[BigBob]

On the Walking Liberty halves, it was on the reverse.
