Thanks gang!Quote:
Looks like a LD to me Cujohn, besides the date design, a good way of determining the small date is the weakly struck ERTY in LIBERTY.

It's a large date. Note the shape of the '9'?  Just extreme die polishing altering the devices. Not a Small date. The direction '9' inside look points in the wrong direction:  Edited by coop

Coinhi the pup on the liberty is a weak Y not the erty. This is a LD, 9 is pointing down not horizontal .

I made a side by side pic yesterday but did not think it would be necessary to post, obviously it is. CoinHI's cent has been beaten up a bit but can easily be seen as a small date. I have never heard anyone else use this as a pick up point but the Zero is also oblong, out of round, with the small date, the large date is a true oval, just noticed this, looking at several . Anyway, the pics show CoinHI's, as clearly a small date. I'd drop my mic and walk off the stage right now, if I had a mic or a stage.   -makecents-

Nice comparison images Makescents.
The curve of the 9 is easy to see when placed side by side.
Congrats on the "wild" find coinhi.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Thanks PP55 and thanks for that visual Makecents. I really didn't think there was a question whether or not it was a small date but I appreciate all the comments and hopefully this will be a constructive example for collectors to help discern between the two varieties.
