I bought this coin today when I saw that it might be a large date, large fraction. I can't tell 100% on the date but the fraction is fairly obvious. Grade thoughts? I have it at AG3. If any of you experts can tell for sure if this is large or small date would be an big help. Thanks, Blair   |

Thanks CoinCollector! Quote:
Yours is the Large Date (the Top of the 3 touches the bust) I somehow missed that. I was looking at the shape of the 3. Thanks so much! |

AG-03, just. Yes it's pretty worn but it was cheap and it's a less common variety, Large date & Large Fraction and I don't have that year. Thanks, Blair |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks again everyone! Quote:
Yours is the Large Date (the Top of the 3 touches the bust) and I now have it in hand. It's a small date, Large Frac. The date can touch the bottom of the bust on the small date. Some dies it did. It's the shape of the three. On the large date the three has a vertical bar extending up from the horizontal bar that is the top of the three. In the small date that vertical bar isn't there. (just learned this myself from looking at numerous examples on the internet. The example on PCGS that was linked just happened to be a die where the top of the three on the small date didn't touch the bottom of the bust.) |
