TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 03/09/2019 09:15 am To me 25 Cents looks like a Sm date and 50 Cents the Lg date from what I've seen in photos but would rather leave it to the keener eyes. Both are from the same mint-issued cardboard set. Report this Post to the Staff

It is much easier. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 03/09/2019 10:51 am Ok, I wanted to avoid opening the fragile plastic but it looks like decent photos with it aren't likely. Thanks, I'll repost them here as soon as I get a minute. Appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 03/09/2019 11:29 am DBM - Here's the coins outside of the plastic, much clearer. They were taken outside out of direct sunlight. Hope these are ok, if not let me know. Edited by TaeKenDo 03/09/2019 11:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

TaeKenDo Pillar of the Community Canada 737 Posts	Posted 03/09/2019 11:36 pm JimmyD - Ok, that's what I was trying to find out. But besides the date, how can one tell the difference, what are other markers ? Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 03/10/2019 12:52 am For the quarter, wire rim, as on your coin, is found only on large date coins. Wide flat rim reverse is found with small date. For 1953 quarters large date is found with NSF obverse only, and small date is found with SF only. For The 1953 fifty cents,all SF obverse coins have large date reverse. NSF obverse coins can have either small or large date reverse. If the maltese cross on the reverse points to a denticle it's a small date. If the maltese cross points between denticles then it's a large date. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
