CoolCoins239 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/14/2018 02:37 am Large date. The small date has more of a curve (hook) from the 'neck' of the 2 and also rounds out at the base. The large date has a sharp downward angled line (like a slash mark: / ) from the neck to the base, at which point the base line goes backward very sharlply, not rounded like the small date. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff

I like using the "snowman" analogy, on a SD the top part of the 8 is smaller like the head of a snowman would be. I stated this sometime ago in another post. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
