Garoyn Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 10/06/2015 9:32 pm I picked up several low grade pennies and I want your opinion whether this one may be an 1862 small date. One reference compares the width of the date (between the 6 and the 2) and one reference compares the height of the date. Which is the correct comparison--width or height? Any chance mine is "small" (unlikely)? The 6-2 gap on mine is narrower than other 1862s I have and see online. But the 6 almost touches the device, such that the 6 is "tall" (not "small"). I guess most references I see compare height, not width, so I appear to be out of luck. But what do you think? width comparison-- http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/img.ph...1746&f=r&s=l height comparison-- http://www.predecimal.com/forum/ind...n&do=process small date (Stacks & Bowers auction) http://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?a...5&lot=611347 small date (London Coins auction) http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/img.ph...2589&f=r&s=l Report this Post to the Staff

UKPennyHunter Valued Member Spain 239 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 11:13 am Sorry one small mistake, it should have read; "No it's not a small date" But I don't get what you mean by 100 years off? I have no 1963 small date theory! Edited by UKPennyHunter 10/07/2015 11:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
pwa 1967 Valued Member United Kingdom 190 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 3:24 pm The picture of the coin you put up ,can you tell me what it is please ?. Report this Post to the Staff
UKPennyHunter Valued Member Spain 239 Posts	Posted 10/08/2015 03:30 am It's a comparison between a small date 1862 penny and a normal date penny. If you type in "1862 small date penny" in google, this is the first image you get. I'm still confused about this 1963 penny you talk about, I didn't even mention anything like that!

UKPennyHunter Valued Member Spain 239 Posts	Posted 10/08/2015 05:14 am What the crapper CoinCommunity? I uploaded one picture and it actually uploaded another.. It shows as the one I think it is, but when check on my phone (not logged in) then I can see that it is a completely different picture. Sorry PWA, I see the confusion now! I've changed the picture, I hope.. Report this Post to the Staff
pwa 1967 Valued Member United Kingdom 190 Posts	Posted 10/08/2015 05:22 am Well at least thats sorted out. The stacks bowers coin is also miss attributed and should not be used as a comparable. Report this Post to the Staff
