JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21656 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 1:09 pm Looks like top one is a Small Date and the other is a Large Date. Edited by JimmyD 04/05/2019 1:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 2:53 pm Note the remark around the motto on being closer or further away from the rim. Large date has the motto closer. The 'L on LIBERTY is closer to the rim. Small date has the motto further away from the rim.The 'L on LIBERTY is further from the rim. Highest point of hair: On the large date less detail there. On the small date more detail on that area. Edited by coop 04/05/2019 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 4:09 pm Why doesn't the 1974 large and small date get the same treatment in coin books as 1960, 1982, etc? Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3328 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 5:20 pm Thanks for the visuals, Coop! I've had problems differentiating these, whereas I have no problems with the 60 or 82. One other thing I've used is the fact that the crossbar on the 7 is slightly tilted on the SD. I think the distance of IGWT and Liberty from rim will be very helpful. Quote: Why doesn't the 1974 large and small date get the same treatment in coin books as 1960, 1982, etc? It could be that there is so little difference in the '74 dates that the album makers didn't feel the necessity of inclusion. Or it could be that the LD/SD 1974 is a fairly recent discovery.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 9:42 pm Are you talking about the bottom of the '97'? That looks like a contact mark on that area? Report this Post to the Staff

Thinking I read somewhere the production rate of both ODV's displaying Type 1 and Type 2 strikes were high in numbers, making neither a rarity. Also note: http://www.coppercoins.com/diesearc...int=d&page=0 Quote: Type 1 large date. FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY: Light to moderate extra thickness can be seen on the date, LIBERTY and the motto. All Type 1 dies will show this extra thickness to some degree or another. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 04/06/2019 1:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
