From these photos, it looks like a normal large date to me. Can we see close ups of the date, please?

You will need to zoom in more on the date to see the DDO's. These pics are as close and clear as I could get |

As JimmyD asked, what makes you think you have a small date over a large date? What are you seeing specifically that points to your titled belief? You have give us two coins, both are large date coins from what I see. (Btw, we try to adhere to one coin per thread, please).
One of the identifying markers of a small date over a large date is a smaller zero within the zero. I don't see this on either of your coins. Another marker is a smaller six within the larger six. Missing. Yet another marker is a "ghost" D above the regular D, and I don't see that as well.
I am sorry to say that I believe both of your coins are the large date version, without a small date, period.

Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback. I'm gonna buy a microscope that will take closeup pics because it is impossible to show you all what I see under magnification with a pic from my phone. Can anyone recommend a good scope that takes pics? $100 or less would be great. Thanks again

If by chance we are missing something Witch I don't think we are and if it is what you say it is, It's SO MINOR it would not make a listing or add much value. But yes a scope can help with some coins. I have one and use it every time I search coins, Less strain on the eyes And my eye's are HALF dead already lol.for a scope go on ebay and search USB Scopes.

What I look for the small date is on the '6':  Also the small dates are have a premium is on the Philly Proof and Business strikes. The Denver on Business strike are common. (about 50% of each large and small dates) Edited by coop

@Daves Errors thank you for the help. Upon further investigation and you guys help, I've determined it's so very minor that it's practically worthless (like coop said). Looking on the bay for a usb scope.
@coop thank you! That image and advice is very helpful!
