Three obverse hubs were used to produce 1934 Quarter Dollars, as follows:

Light Motto - aka Type of 1932 - IN GOD WE TRUST mushy and indistinct

Medium Motto - aka Type of 1935 - IN GOD WE TRUST stronger, but the letters are thin

Heavy Motto - aka Type of 1936 - IN GOD WE TRUST very strong, the top center of the W is higher than the left and right strokes (diagnostic)

Quickfinder Notes: The letters in the motto "In God We Trust" are very weak, in fact, "ghostlike". In the later stages of usage, the letters blur to the point they are virtually unreadable. The Light Motto (Type of 1932) variety is about three times scarcer than the standard Medium Motto (Type of 1935) variety.
