There is far less space between the large stars and the rim:



This variety has smaller letters in the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and in the "50 C." denomination. Unlike in previous years - these smaller letters are much easier to identify and there is more spacing between the rim and the letters. The large letters variety is much like earlier versions where the letters are obviously larger and there is less space between them and the rim of the coin.
