Anyone know how to determine Lg date Sm date on 1840 LG Cent?
Not too hard to tell, there is a significant difference in the size of the digits. The large dates were made with a two two digit logotypes with the digits uneven. The point of the 1 is fairly blunt.
The small dates were made with a four digit logotype and all of the numbers are evenly spaced and on the same line. The 1 has a long point.
The small dates are N-1,3,4, and 12.
Large dates are N-5,6,7,8,9, and 10
N-2 is unusual as it has the small date punched in over the large date 18 logotype.
Small date N-1

Large date Sorry I don't have a better picture, don't know the variety

Small date over large 18 N-2 You can clearly see the point of both 1's.
