I Can't Help But To Ask About This 1974

most pictures are very hard to tell, but a few look like MD since the devices are reduced in size/thickness

Thank you to both of you. The God is what made we wonder. I get so thrown off
with the machine double and doubled die. I'm getting much better thought with the die deteration and a few others - so there's still hope yet.

I have a question though what's the difference with small date and the large date?

Thank you Fuzzy317

That's probably the toughest thing to grasp. You have to think of it from the die's point of view. You already know incused on the die is relief on the coin, and vice versa. Now think, if you are the die, and you have wear on a particular area...how will that affect the coin?
Now think again, you are the die and have been made with doubling on you...How will that affect the coin?

Here is a side by side of the two different ones for that year.

That's the best explanation of the large and small date I've ever seen for that date. Copied to my search list. Thank you.
