HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 572 Posts	Posted 08/09/2019 2:50 pm Large date. There's two easy ways to tell the difference: 1. On the small date, the inner curve of the 9 (the part that curls into the center) is sharper such that it points to the middle of the 7. On the large date that curve is less sharp and points almost to the MM. 2. Draw a line from the bottom of the 1 to the bottom of the 0 in the date. If the bottom of the 7 goes below that line, it's a large date. That's actually why it's called the large date because the 7 looks a little larger than in the small date.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/09/2019 10:50 pm Keep in mind that collections get dump in to the coin stars when collector pass away for face value. (always mark your collectable coins) Also thieves get rid of them in circulation as well. But rolls of coins do get saved for years. Report this Post to the Staff
