spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 11/15/2011 10:48 pm Look up some pics of confirmed small dates (and check previous threads regarding small date 1970s). You will see that the "9" is more rounded, curved toward the stem (not pointed down as much), and it has a somwhat pointed end it seems. Also the "liberty" will be weakly struck. All of that will make LOTS more sense when you can see a pic of a confirmed small date. Unfortunately the one you posted is 100% large date.
