DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 10:20 pm By the size of the date relative to the size of CENTS I'd say it's a small date.The numerals on the large date are about the same size as the letters.Unfortunately Charlton's does not show the entire reverse. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 01/01/2013 10:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cameron93 Valued Member Canada 190 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 10:28 pm I respect your experience and wisdom... But you're gonna have to educate me here... Don't bite off my finger... just look where it's pointing :) The pictures show that mdlock's coin has more indicators than not that it is a "Large Date"... First pic is Charlton LD... third pic Charlton SD... mdlock's coin in middle... It appears to me that the gap between the numeral 8 and numeral 7 on mdlock coin matches the narrower distance between as shown in the Charlton pictures for a large date variety... also clearly the 7 numeral is larger than that shown in Charlton pics for the small date... the width of the numeral 1 is wider on the large date... and the shape of the numeral 5 buldging much more in the body on the right hand portion... Respectfully, cameron93 Report this Post to the Staff
Zonad Pillar of the Community Canada 1472 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 10:42 pm Check the 1875's for sale on ebay. The 5 on the one large date has a shape totally different from this coin. The numbers are bigger and almost the same size as the letters in cent. In this case, Charlton's example is not good for showing the difference. Report this Post to the Staff
Zonad Pillar of the Community Canada 1472 Posts	Posted 01/01/2013 10:57 pm I don't have a large date 1875 but I think the five cent has the same shape of 5 in the date. (Middle coin in my photo) Edited by Zonad 01/01/2013 10:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
