Tmills New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 4:08 pm The one you're referring to is the only one that has been found and sold for 20k. I did that because people assume the 2 needs to look like they do on the small date zinc cents but they had to change the die because it wouldn't strike right on the zinc. A different die meant to strike a zinc planchet wouldn't look the same on a copper planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 10:56 pm The lettering will look different as the die ages. EDIT: I see several posts on this same coin. If you are convinced it is a small date, even after everyone here has said it is a large date, I suggest you send it to a third party grading service. I'm not sure how you will handle the news when it comes back as a common large date cent though, but at least you will know. Edited by cwb 10/29/2017 10:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 2:26 pm Here is a side by side of the large and small dates for that year: Note that not the date is different. Other things also show a difference, even the bust size. Report this Post to the Staff
