j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 01/08/2008 05:41 am Cited from "A Guide Book of Lincoln Cents" "The large date has the top of the 1 in the date significantly lower than the top of the adjacent 9. On the small date the tops of 1 and 9 are at the same level." (One problem with this citation is that the pictures theyve put in the book exactly contradict the above. The pictures show the small date having a lower 9 and the large date having equally high 9 (to the 1)) But those are the benchmark differences. Report this Post to the Staff

There are many things diagnostic but I find the length of the tail on the 6 to be the best indicator for me. coppercoins site has good examples to compare by. I just recently did a giveaway where you received a lge and sm date 1960-D for comparison. Nothing valuable but a good reference. I have a set left and if you would like it, PM me with your address and I will send it to you. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
