They were promoted as such in the 1970s by a marketing firm and then faded away as they got no publicity whatsoever as did the 1960, 1970 and 1982 Lg and Sm Dates -- which got all kinds of publicity. In an article by John Wexler in his Error-Variety News, he even indicated that he ignored the ads for many years (not that the ads ran that long but Wexler never forgot them) assuming they were just the result of over-polished (abraded) dies until he decided to take a closer look and learned that they were actual die varieties. I wrote about them for Coin World's Collectors Clearinghouse, I think in the early 1990s, but they continued to be ignored as they are today. These varieties, common or not should be standard listings in the Red Book with a slot provided for them in every album. The differences are far more prominent and widespread than those on all the other Lg and Sm date cents except perhaps the 1982. Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 07/05/2015 6:20 pm Since I'm on my on thread I'll go ahead & share the 1974 off center that will be placed next the MAD when I receive it. The obverse is pretty awesome but the reverse is a lesson to be learned.Hold your coins by the rim.Oils from our fingers can & will leach into your coins & will permanently be there for all time. Someone else's finger print not mine Edited by jasper62 07/05/2015 6:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Quote:** If you can get some images out of the 2X2, I would like to add them to my educational files. I'm not sure if the quality is good enough but if they are that's great & if their not that's great also. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: Mr. Potter, any figures as to the rarity of any of the 1974 large and or small dates. I also have a very nice RPM of a 1974 D large date, wanna see it? I await your replies.

GSDykes Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 05/08/2016 4:35 pm Actually it seems to be Machine Doubling, as the 4 in 1974 is doubled as well. So no true doubled die!! If you want an image ask. Gary in Washington Report this Post to the Staff
