Hello

 

Does anyone have the story behind why they didn't do the raised ground for all the Buffalos and switched to flat ground?

 

Inquiring minds you know.

The “FIVE CENTS” on the raised ground wore out quickly while in circulation.

The Standing Liberty quarter had a similar issue with its date area, this was fixed for 1925.

Thank you

 

It strikes me that they wanted to keep the FIVE CENTS intact so they employed a design that easily wore out the date . Which I guess if you needed the date or the amount , the amount would be more important.  I guess hind sight is 20 20, and I probably shouldn't pick on our forefathers (or mothers) in making such design decisions at that time with the resources they had …or didn't have.

Yes I've noticed the dates on those are a little dicey…
