coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/24/2008 08:48 am Definitely large date. On the large date the inside curl of the 9 is squared off and is directed toward the bottom of the 7. On the small date the inside curl of the 9 comes to a sharp point and is directed toward the middle of the 7. Report this Post to the Staff

jerryb Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 10/25/2008 1:00 pm I agree.....large date. 7 is usually even on top and a slightly smaller 0 is usually the clue. I have some of each and it's very evident when you put them side to side. Just a humble old mans opinion. And no, I can't dance that fast anymore. Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 10/25/2008 1:11 pm Another way to tell the difference is by looking at the word LIBERTY. In the small date the word LIBERTY is weak, look at the top of the E and Y. In the large date the word LIBERTY is struck well with no letters blending into the field. The proofs can be distinguished in the same ways. Edited by rockdude 10/25/2008 1:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
