The small date is farther from the rim than the large date. It is difficult to tell from your photo , but use the image below to compare your coin with. If copper plated zinc, weight 2.5 grams. If not, then about 3 grams. Edited by nss-52 11/05/2017 4:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

See nss-52's post above. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
