ouzo66 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 01/17/2008 08:48 am Does anyone have pictures comparing the 1960 small date and large date? Is there an obvious difference in size or is more subtle? Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 01/18/2008 6:11 pm There are two other ways, but not everyone has to resort to them! I use a scope, and camera to project the image onto the TV screen (27"). There I outline one image of the known size. Then compare the coins with the outline. OR, you can sue an overlay, (if you know how to do this, (in any photo app.). I have a vision problem and can't focus, or see directly in front. Just hope that there are two sizes of the date handy.
