I need help with this 1891 cent. I'm pretty sure it's the LL variety, but I'm having trouble with the date. Can anyone help me?

1891 and 1892 were transitional years with different fonts used, different Obverses & different Reverses. The coin pictured in the thread is a corroded 1891 Obv 2 Large Leaves(LL), Large Date(LD)
You can tell those with Large Leaves(LL) by looking to see if the leaves touch the denticles at the 6:30 or 8:00 postion (leaves 9 & 11, numbered from 12:00). If they do, it's a large leaf. Small leaves there is a good gap between the leaves and the denticles. You can tell the large date from the small date by normally looking at the 9 in the date. The large date had a large 9 that has an almost round center to the loop of the 9. Also a vertical line drawn down the outside of the left leg of the N in Cent will always touch or intersect a Large Date 9.
