lahave56 Valued Member Canada 364 Posts	Posted Yesterday 2:04 pm Here's another large/small date comparison The literature says the 3 things to look for with this variety are: The tail of the 6 in the Large Date is much longer than that of the small date The top of the 1 in the Small Date is level with the top of the 9. In the Large Date the top of the 1 is below the top of the 9 The 0 is perfectly round the Large Date. In the small date the 0 is skinnier I think this could be an example of a small date. In the comparison below the large date is on top and the small date below. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

The only difference I see in the O's is that the small date O looks a little smaller to me. I'm using a 10x triplet loupe to look at them too. Report this Post to the Staff
