The pictures on the first one a little dark.  Here's a small date I found in a proof set to confirm.  |

Lge. date.
So many posts on this coin.
Simplest and most accurate way to attribute a large
date from a small date is to just concentrate on the 7
Forget the other attributes. Actually just look at the cross bar
of the 7. Two things there that make it a small date.
1. The top of the crossbar is level with the top of the other
digits.
2. The cross bar melds with the lower part of the seven and does
not look like it sits on top of it like a shelf.
Very simple.

It's a large date, but better pics might let us see if it is a DDO...the thickness of LIBERTY has me thinking it might be. |

For me the main tell is the 9 in the date not LIBERTY. John1 |

Yeah..you cannot go off of Liberty to determine if it is a small date. You can however confirm it after checking the date and then look for a weak Liberty.
All small dates have a weak Liberty (some weaker than others) but not all weak Liberty's are small dates.

All the mixed up photos are confusing me ... what coin is the one the OP wants to know about. Suggest the best photos are in-focus full coin images of both the obverse and reverse ... all of the micro close ups are not helping me to support the OP David |
