Tuckasaurus New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 2:12 pm I received these in the mail today from an ebay purchase. I'm filling a Dansco album. I hope the pictures will work. Compare the date to the writing on the 2x2 and tell me if you think they match up. There is one I'm not so sure about and I want more opinions. I won't say which one, and I'll see if my suspicions are confirmed. Thanks guys! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

argentum Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 2:39 pm the 1960 D "small date" is not a small date. the top of the 6 is too long. Report this Post to the Staff

cheezyfryes Valued Member United States 359 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 5:32 pm I agree that the last one appears to be a large date... Any way you can provide zoomed-in pictures of the dates? Report this Post to the Staff

kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 6:27 pm At least the one that matters greatly (namely the 1960 small date) is correct. Sometimes it gets difficult to discern either, but I think the 1970-S can be more difficult to identify to the novice eye. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15548 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 6:55 pm The 1960-D small date is in fact a large date. All other 3 coins correct as advertised. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 01:11 am Yep, 60-D small date is in fact not a small date. Good to see the seller is fixing the mistake. Report this Post to the Staff

I gave up trying to find one in change, and am just going to roll 1970 S separate as I hoard copper Report this Post to the Staff
skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 10:17 am I've become pretty good at spotting the differences in the 1970-S large and small, but I still find myself second-guessing sometimes. I keep hoping I will find one in my roll searches, but so far, no luck. Funny thing is, I hardly find any large date S mints from 1970 when I search. I did find a very nice small date 1960 about a month ago though in a roll from the bank. Couldn't believe my luck. It's in my Lincoln circulated set now. Report this Post to the Staff
