Oval on the left and round on the right


Note: there are no 'periods' after USA, Hosp, or Dept on the
5 3/4" oval cobalt. This point was cross checked by a
longtime collector as he looked at his dug oval cobalts and
found the same missing periods. On the round 6 3/4"
cobalt and smaller cobalt ovals, the periods are there.
The concern was prompted by fakes missing the periods in
some cases. So missing periods on 5 3/4" cobalt ovals
are normal.
