atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1365 Posts	Posted 11/13/2019 08:57 am Thinking about picking up this dime for my collection, but I'm not 100% sure of the type; large 9 or small 9. I also don't know how to post attachments so I've listed the ebay item number here... ( 333079690538 ) I'd appreciate feedback to comfort me with this purchase. Thanks in advance!

atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1365 Posts	Posted 11/13/2019 09:42 am John1 , thanks for the quick response. I'm heading outside to shovel snow (so I can get my car out of the garage) and hope I'll have a few more responses when I come back in. I'll also explain a little later why I'm asking for this help.

atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1365 Posts	Posted 11/13/2019 9:22 pm I see I didn't get a lot of help today I ended up buying it, even though I think it's a small-9. I say this because the large-9 should have a thinner 'wall' of the 9 which makes the inside of the top of the 9 larger. This one has a thicker 'smudgee' wall for the 9. Also, there should be more room between the looping end of the 9 and the 'o' of the top of the 9. (I'm using my Charlton catalog for reference) I had bought one a few months ago but sent that back for a refund because seeing it in person gave me a much better look than I got online. We'll see how this one goes when I get it. Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry I was not much help. Good luck. John1 Edited by John1 11/14/2019 04:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1365 Posts	Posted 11/15/2019 5:27 pm Thank-you Terry T. I take it the small-9 is on the left and the large-9 is on the right. (?) I'd really really like it if most of these folders I have to fill only had ONE type of coin yearly; it would make folder filling much easier. These large/small, near/far, high/low, round/square, crooked/straight, dot/no-dot, long/short, etc. things give me a headache! Report this Post to the Staff
