Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/24/2013 01:55 am looks like large date, using this page as reference: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...alldate.html the curl end of the 9 looks blunt, and the tops of the 9, 7, & 0 don't appear to be in line Report this Post to the Staff
JJHFL Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 08/24/2013 06:17 am I agree, looks like a large, but in the future I would post a picture of the whole coin straight on. I know you are focusing on the area that you think you see something, but others may look for other things. As an example on this coin, the characteristics of the date can be deceiving and I would want to look at LIBERTY as well. Not giving you a hard time @theworstever, I just think you will get more help in the future if you include at least one straight on full pic in addition to the "close up" of the affected area. I know, because I used to do the exact same thing at first ;) Report this Post to the Staff

BenjaminsBaby Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 08/24/2013 8:13 pm when I try and identify if it is a small date I always look at the liberty because I know towards the TY it is faded and almost easy to pick out with the naked eye...although iam not sure that ALL small dates have this...someone correct me if I'm wrong Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/25/2013 03:18 am I've seen weakness in that area on the Denver cents. So look for the location of the mint mark first, the blunt or pointed ending of the 9. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 12:06 am Why is the 70-S date alone posted at such crazy angles? It's much easier to tell when it's horizontal. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 12:20 am I look at them upside down. Easier to spot the length of the seven. Do not take pics. that way though Report this Post to the Staff
