From what I've read it said the 0 looked smaller and like a doughnut. I didn't see anything about the 1 and 9 on the web. Can somebody give me a good link to look at, all them I found weren't very good.

I used my Red Book as my guide. I think the "6" is the main thing I compare...it's definitely not as long and over lapping towards the 0 in the small date.

BadThad,
In garylcsr's picture the Large is on the left and the Small is on the right.

A few more quick ways to tell:

Large: The Top of the 9 is above the Top of the 1
Small: The Top of the 9 is even with the Top of the 1

Large: The Stem of the 6 is Longer than the one on a small
Small: The Stem of the 6 is shorter than the one on the large.

Large: The Bottom of the 6 is Below the Bottom of the 1
Small: The Bottom of the 6 is Even with the Bottom of the 1

Large: The 0 is round
Small: The 0 is Oval

Hope this Helps.

Try coppercoins.com web site. The guy that has that web site has taken over 10,000 photos of mostly Lincoln Cents.
