lahave56 Valued Member Canada 368 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

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21981 Posts	Posted Yesterday 2:11 pm Yes, you have one of each. Easy enough to tell the difference, I just look at the O, if it is round, it is a large date, if it is oval, it is a small date. 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

Appreciate the tip. Quote: Here is a link that will help you Appreciate the link @-makecents- I didn't realize there were so many other features. One of those coin microscopes might come in handy when you really need to get close. With all the pennies I have I could probably spend another lifetime examining them. Report this Post to the Staff
