This coin is in a bit better shape. I need to know the exact difference between the small and large denticles. I think this is a regular A to the denticle not small. I give it an EF-40 what do you figure? Report this Post to the Staff

coconet Valued Member Canada 86 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 1:05 pm Hi, I usually look at the spacing between denticles and if I see I can fit easily another 1 or 2 denticles between than they are small otherwise they are large. Of course when the coin is badly worn this theory is out the window . I believe this to be a large because hardly any room to fit another denticle. As for grade sure looks EF-40. Good luck !!

secoinedchance Valued Member Canada 449 Posts	Posted 05/26/2013 09:27 am I also find the small denticles look a bit like a weak strike too. That's how I differentiate them as well Report this Post to the Staff
