lahave56 Valued Member Canada 355 Posts	Posted Today 6H 21M ago Quote: large date has the 2 closer to the rim @JimmyD that's true but the shape of the 2 is also different and I find that to be an easier diagnostic to use when searching. The large date 2 has a straight diagonal between the top and the base whereas on the small date it is more curved and the base of the 2 is generally thinner. Thanks for the confirmation.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19707 Posts	Posted Today 1H 27M ago I use the two step check--shape of the two combined with distance to the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
lahave56 Valued Member Canada 355 Posts	Posted Today 55M ago Quote: I use the two step check I think it's been said that you just need to ask yourself if another number would fit between the 2 and the rim and if it would then it may be a small date. I actually used that method first and then remembered about the shape of the 2. When I used that method it seemed to go faster and I came up with one more example. I suppose it's whatever method or both works best for you. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 110948 Posts	Posted Today 51M ago I use the same thing as ijn above (but mostly the shape of the 2 is easy to tell (unless it is damaged, then the distance to the rim comes in to help.
