Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 02/19/2018 9:27 pm Yet your site victoriancent.com appears to make my point. Comparing 30044 and 30046, the top of the second 1 reaches much higher on the leaf on the LD than appears on this coin -- at least to my eye. Report this Post to the Staff
bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 02/19/2018 9:58 pm The "91" was manually punched into each Large Date die, so they are in different spots on each die. In Dies & Diadems, I catalogued 31 different LD reverse dies, so there are 31 different locations for the "91" in the large date coins. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award Winner, 2020 J.

Just look at the inside space/shape of the upper loop of the 9. Similarly, look at leaf 9 (under the 8) to see how close the leaf lobe is to the denticle to determine large leaves.
