Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5611 Posts	Posted 08/15/2012 11:14 pm A quick PUP that will never steer you wrong on this variety, IF the both ends of the 9 are pointed, it is a small date, IF the ends of the 9 are blunt or not pointed, large date. I believe this question has been asked for as long as I have been lucky to of found this site( for years ), I asked a noted Cent specialist about my observation, after spending time researching this variety, which back then this PUP was NOT listed or discussed. Look up the history on this site about this PUP, I believe you will see the facts. :) I was told that there was already to many PUP'S for this coin and my suggestion about using this one was not needed, what do you think......... PS, There are plenty of very readily educated pleasant people here that enjoy helping share their knowledge with others! Report this Post to the Staff
Young-Skyler New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 08/15/2012 11:20 pm I think you should also include a picture of the font "IN GOD WE TRUST" that is usually how I determine if a coin has a small date or a large date, because there is more spacing between the letters on the small date then the larger date, hope I could help Im outtttttt Report this Post to the Staff
Peaceman Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 08/15/2012 11:21 pm Nope... I go through thousands of em... small date is really hard. Easiest way, draw a straight line from bottom of 1 to bottom of 0... shouldn't touch the 7 Edited by Peaceman 08/15/2012 11:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 08/15/2012 11:30 pm Large Date! Draw an extrended line accross top of "7", if the "0" goes above that line it's a large date. Photo below is small date. Report this Post to the Staff
numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 08/16/2012 09:08 am Don't forget the curl of the 9. If it points to the bottom of the 7-LD. If it points to the middle of the 0 - SD. Report this Post to the Staff

Muzie New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/16/2012 12:26 pm Great reminder about the "9" which is very different in each variety and another great indicator. Report this Post to the Staff
