rocktowngal Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 2:17 pm I have a 1960 LMC that still has all of its steps. I will try to get a picture...but no guarantee...because I am not the best picture taker. Would this have value and how do I know if it is a small date...this is the front of the coin.

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 2:28 pm This has a great description on telling the difference: http://www.thecentproject.com/sort1960.php Yours looks like it is a large date. It is hard to tell, since the photo is taken on an angle and not overhead. Report this Post to the Staff

joeturbo26 Pillar of the Community United States 1193 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 9:30 pm The small/large date 60s and 70s kill me... I can stare and compare for hours! The 60 has become a breeze for me now since purchasing a small date, by looking at the extension on the 6. The small date 6 has a considerably smaller "tail", rocktowngirl, you will know for sure once you have a small date if you keep this one and just compare everything to it.

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 10:53 pm The reason why the '60 large and small date are easier to tell apart is because they're actually different. The two holes in your album for '70-S large and small date are just a 40 year old practical joke. Report this Post to the Staff
