PennehChaos Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 8:46 pm Came across these while roll hunting and thought they were rather interesting- the coins on the right are just "normal" examples for comparison. I didn't see a reference to it on coppercoins, but I may not be using the site search correctly MUCH easier to see than the 60 & 70 large/small dates, in my opinion... Report this Post to the Staff

ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 9:42 pm Mint marks were punched into the die by hand. So long as the mint mark is in that area and not hitting anything else it is considered mormal. Richard Report this Post to the Staff

A couple of my favs are 1914's with high and low S's. That's 74D is insanely low...so is that 89D! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 11:22 pm These may not command increased prices, but I really like them. Someone must have had a bad Monday morning on the '89 or it was the new guy? I've have trying to collect them on the 1942 Australian Florin produced at San Francisco. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 09:33 am There is also Large and small dates on the 1974 Cents. It just takes a little time to know which one is which. They don't command any premium as they are close to the same numbers of each. The small date 1960 is worth more as few of these were made. The small date 1960 D is in higher production than the Philly one. Here is what to watch for if your interested in identifying the large/small date 1974 Cents. Report this Post to the Staff
