livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 6:50 pm I would add to Coops' info, in that, after time, the wear,and tear on the coins will make it very hard to be sure, but another feature will be very difficult to change is the position of the "7" in realtion to the level line of the digits. The large is always low, while the small is even with the other digits. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 7:26 pm I've also found it hard to distinguish a SD/LD by the tops of the digits. I almost solely go by the shape of the 9 and 7, as well as the downstroke of the 7 against the 0. This writeup was really helpful for me to correctly distinguish the two types.

Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 12:45 pm Thx, Kurt. I was pretty familiar with most of these diagnostics but the length of the down stroke in comparison was not one that I was familiar with. It would seem to be very indicative no matter the condition. I agree, the straight line method across the top of the date has been problematic at best for me. The flatish loop on the nine and weak liberty have always been my fallback determiners.
