KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/22/2008 5:26 pm Toniblab, yes--a weak LIBERTY is a good marker, but I've been confused about how weak it should be? I've also observed that the 7 and 9 have distinctly different shapes on the small date. In particular, the LD 7 has a notch that runs roughly diagonally between the inside and outside of the corner. In case anyone's curious by what I mean, Charles Daughtrey has written a good explanation here. This writeup helped me a lot! Edited by KurtS 03/22/2008 5:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
