coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/12/2011 1:44 pm Looks like a normal large date from what I can see. The grime is a little distracting. Note the 0 in the date. That is what you expect to see on a small over large date. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/15/2011 12:13 pm The Large Date over Small Date is a doubled die, specifically Class III Design Hub Doubling. The die was first impressed with a Small Date hub, annealed, and then impressed the second time with a Large Date hub. This process is also responsible for all the 20th century "overdates" where repunched/re-engraved dates are not possible. Report this Post to the Staff
