I do admit it is difficult to tell, which is why I'm reaching out. Ty for your opinions. I lean towards small date, but it doesn't hit me 100%.

A second look at "Errers and Varietys" link and TippyCanoe's pics changes my mind... I think John1 may be correct, LD. TippyCanoe's date appears to have the low 7, a thicker blunted 9, and a fairly well defined Liberty. Maybe sharper images would help, but I'm now on the large date side. With the posted images, I just can't decide  Edited by igwt79

Ty Sam, you sound confident about that opinion. I haven't felt that with any other opinion.

Shape of the 9 is a dead giveaway. The loop of the 9 points towards the base of the 7 on the large date, while this points directly backwards.

the termination of the 9 (being round and not squared off) says it is a small date.

I'm not an expert, but my vote is SD. I use this link on coppercoins: https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...parison.htmlThe part I use is: "The one tell tale sign between the two that NEVER fails is a crease that runs horizontally across the top of the diagonal of the 7 on ALL large date cents. That crease is completely absent on ALL small date cents (this works for proofs too). Take a look at the photos below and see for yourself...and enjoy collecting!" Edited by Toledano99

I'll add my Two Cents to the SD camp. The 9 and LIBERTY did it for me. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
